"most" is doing a lot of work in that sentence.

Multiplayer games generally don't.

Haven't tried this one yet, but in my experience it's like 90% of single player games work and the remaining 10% will never work.

"Most is doing a lot of work".

So, 90% isn't most in your book?

At least in my experience, every single game I've launched has worked on Linux. I don't play online shooter games which seems to be the only category that doesn't work.

I game on Linux (have so for years) and the only thing I can't play is a few AAA FPS titles. Honestly not much of an issue depending on what games you play.

Games with anticheat generally don't. Multiplayer games without anticheat generally so work.

I do not play multiplayer games, and it has come to the point where I don't even check Proton compatibility on these because it is so reliable now in that situation.

I was just playing Sand: Raiders of Sophie.

Before that Arma Reforger.

Before that Arc Raiders.

There are a very small minority of games that use kernel-level anticheat that won't work, including newer BF6 and COD. Tbh I wouldn't play those anyway because of that feature, which sucks because BF series was fun.
