List of games that support Wayland (WIP)

List of games that support Wayland with minimal setup

  • SuperTuxKart (note 1)
  • Xonotic (note 1)
  • osu!lazer (note 1)

List of games that require library changes for Wayland support

  • Minecraft Java Edition (1.13+) (note 2)

List of games that require both library and game code changes for Wayland support

  • Minecraft Java Edition (pre-1.13) (note 2)

List of Windows games that support wine-wayland (note 3) (note 4)

  • ABZU
  • Dirt 3
  • Subnautica
  • Rebel Galaxy
  • Endless Space
  • Age of Wonders 3
  • Stellaris
  • EU4
  • Path of Exile
  • Pathfinder Kingmaker
  • Crusader Kings 2
  • Mutant Year Zero
  • Tropico 6
  • Wasteland 2

Notes

Note 1: needs SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland variable
Note 2: the official launcher requires Xorg, so you'll have to use MultiMC with QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland environment variable for now
Note 3: wine-wayland currently has some severe issues
Note 4: The list was taken from wine-wayland's README

General notes

  • Most (if not all) of these games will be stuck to the desktop resolution
  • Most (if not all) of these games won't have window decorations on GNOME
  • Steam Linux client requires Xorg, so games that require Steam to be running are SOL

I haven't touched this gist in a while (as seen by the mention of MultiMC) so I might archive it because your list is pretty extensive
