Hitman and DiRT Rally coming to Linux and SteamOS
Feral Interactive will release Hitman and DiRT Rally for Linux. The games will also be available on SteamOS. The Linux version of Hitman will be released on February 16 and Dirt Rally will follow on March 2.
The Linux version of Hitman contains all episodes of the game, which was initially released in parts for Windows and consoles. The publisher does not disclose through which ways and at what price the Linux version can be purchased, but the complete game is on Steam for 49.99 euros. It is likely that owners of the game on Steam will also be able to play the game on Linux from February 16.
Last week Feral Interactive announced that it is making a Linux port of DiRT Rally. The Linux version of the rally game will be released on March 2. The publisher states that at least a GTX 650 Ti or R9 270 video card is required to play the racing game on Linux or SteamOS. No system requirements have been disclosed for Hitman.
Feral is not the original developer of the games. Hitman was made by IO Interactive and DiRT Rally comes from the Codemasters stable. Feral Interactive previously made Linux versions of Mad Max and Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, among others.
