The other day it was reported that Valve had launched an application page in which they were looking for beta testers for their Steam client for Linux. This is certainly great news for Linux gamers and at the same time we expect that they are also wondering what sort of games will the Steam client for Linux be getting. Well if you were successful with your application for the beta, developer Croteam has revealed that the beta Steam client for Linux will feature three games – Portal, Team Fortress 2 and Serious Sam 3 BFE. Oddly enough there was no mention of Left 4 Dead 2, which was the first game to be ported and optimized for Ubuntu systems, at least that’s what the original plan was. Perhaps Valve is still working on a port, but in the meantime beta participants can expect those three games for now.
