Indiana Jones and the Great Circle Proton Experimental
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle has come a long way since its release.

A new Proton Experimental update was released a couple of days ago, fixing a bunch of great games to make sure they can be played on the Steam Deck and other Linux devices. A bunch of Xbox Game Studios titles previously had long wait times, which have now been fixed, and video playback has improved for Satisfactory and Conquer the World. We also have some audio fixes for Clair Obscur and Ghost of Tsushima, while Arc Raiders had its stuttering issue fixed.

And of course, we have some new playable games, including Metal Slug: Awakening, The Obsessive Shadow, Drop Dead, Lost Memories 3, Death by Scrolling, and Stellar Reach.

The new Proton Experimental update should automatically download if you already have the experimental layer. If not, just search for Proton Experimental in the Steam store on your Steam Deck and download.
