The creator of Playnite, a popular free and open-source video game library manager, recently shared a promising update regarding the development of a Linux version, which is expected to roll out in 2026.
Back in February, it was reported that the creator had intentions to work on a Linux version of Playnite, but indicated that the release would take longer than initially anticipated. The most recent update provided a more optimistic timeline. The developer stated, "I’m planning to move to Linux in 2026 after P11 is done, and since Playnite is my personal blocker for the move, I will try to make some Linux version in 2026." While this version may not fully match the Windows version’s features, it is expected to include essential functions and enhancements tailored for Linux environments, such as integration with Wine/Proton.
The Playnite team’s transition to Linux is viewed as a significant development that could attract more users migrating from Windows to Linux, as many gamers desire access to the features provided by Playnite. This coming update is highly anticipated within the gaming community, and many are hopeful for its successful implementation. For more information about Playnite, you can visit their website.
