1 min read
Summary
Proton, co-developed by Valve and CodeWeavers, is a solution that allows Windows-based games to be run on Linux devices such as the Steam Deck.
Version 10.0 of Proton has just been released in beta form, marking the first full update in a year.
The update addresses a range of issues that will help the Steam Deck run games such as Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 and Batman: Arkham Asylum Game of the Year Edition more smoothly.
It will also help Linux-based desktops run games such as Stalker 2, Marvel Rivals and The Finals more smoothly, and stop them crashing on Intel GPUs.
Installation is simple for those wanting to give the beta a try, with the software available to download from a user’s Steam library like a regular game.
