SteamOS and Linux getting port of XCOM: Enemy Unknown

Extraterrestrials deserve to die on every computing platform.

Linux gamers will finally get their chance to fight off an alien invasion thanks to XCOM: Enemy Unknown. Publisher 2K Games and developer Firaxis are enlisting the help of studio Feral Interactive to bring the tactical strategy game to the open-source operating system. Feral is working on the port right now, and it expects to release it this summer. This is the latest established triple-A game to make the leap from traditional gaming platforms to Linux, which may help with developer Valve’s battle to establish an open PC alternative to Windows.
