Linux Release?

[Echelon]

Any chance of getting release or experimental build for linux atleast?

We'll never say never, but consider this: We're a small team of only 9 people, so we need to focus our efforts. Because of this, we're working on a PC version first and foremost.

It's definitely not ruled out that GTFO will come to platforms other than PC, but it's safe to say that Linux has lower priority than, say, PS4 and XBO.

wow 9 people, focus on pc for now

Considering the game is built on unity it should be possible to have a linux release

Any news for linux support? I do not want to play using steamplay

[Simon Viklund]

Sorry, no. We're working on the PC version atm, and you can assume consoles come after that in the priority list.

What engine and Graphics API are in use? Also is there any non-steam DRM or anti-cheat? Wine/Proton is pretty capable these days and there is a good chance the devs wouldn’t have to do extra work to make the game run on Linux. Native games are preferable but I understand if you don’t want to spend the time and resources.

The Alpha works great with Proton 4.11-7.

If you don't do fancy stuff later on, like using a DRM or anti-chat mechanism that's atm known to not work, or using codecs (mfplat) that are known to not work... you're got to go with Proton.

I played the first 24h Alpha test on Linux with 3 friends (they were using Windows) for about 4.5hrs. Even streaming it was not an issue. performance was pretty good. Atm I would give it a Platinum rating on ProtonDB or even do a whitelist request on the Proton Github tracker.

@SimonViklund If you can get this game out on Xbox I would buy it. I would even consider buying a PS4 just to play it. Keep up the efforts!

You seem to forget that Linux is also "PC" (Personal Computer). ;)
PC = MacOS, Linux, DOS, Windows, BeOS, Serenity, BSD, etc.

I'm also interested in a native GNU/Linux build of the game if ever possible.
