Nexuiz, OpenArena, World of Padman. I've got nothing against those games but they're ancient. They'd run on a 15 year old ThinkPad with integrated graphics.

Steam Proton allows you the run new games on Linux like Final Fantasy XV, Witcher 3, Death Stranding, Hitman 2, Doom Eternal.
Actual blockbuster games from the last few years.
- thesuitonym 6y agoIt's a 10 year old article. Of course the games are old. It might be that things are different now, or the same. But it still answers the question: Does steam work on FreeBSD (Yes), and is still accurate (Sometimes better)
- moistbar 6y agoConsidering the age of the article, and the fact that I'm unable to find any information on Vulkan support for any manufacturer's drivers, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Steam (more specifically Proton) doesn't work as well as it does on Linux.
- trasz 6y agoThe documentation is certainly lacking, but sources such as https://github.com/FreeBSDDesktop/kms-drm/issues/130 https://github.com/FreeBSDDesktop/kms-drm/issues/130 suggest that Vulkan support is there, at least for Radeon.
- Jonnax 6y agoSteam was released on Linux 2 years after that article. Googling "freebsd steam" doesn't really indicate that it's easy to get it running. The frames per seconds in those results are 150fps+ 10 years ago. You may as well have said that Tux Racer runs faster on FreeBSD. I doubt people are running variable refresh rate on 360hz monitors on FreeBSD to fully enjoy the advantage of playing these ancient games. What's the point in being disingenuous?
