LINUX GAMING
Aspyr Media has released Observer for Linux and macOS as their newest game port.

Observer is a "cyberpunk horror" video game released for Windows and the game consoles earlier this year. Observer is powered by Unreal Engine 4 and is the first new Linux game port by Aspyr Media in a while.

Under Linux, Aspyr Media lists a GeForce GTX 680 as the minimum GPU requirement for this UE4-powered game while Intel/AMD graphics cards are explicitly mentioned as not being supported -- no word if it should work fine on Mesa Git at this time or not.


Those wanting to learn more about this new Linux game release can do so via the Steam Store where it's currently on sale for $25 USD. Additional details from Aspyr.com.
