Unreal Engine 4 now has support for Linux with the update to 4.1

https://www.unrealengine.com/blog/41-update-preview

Folks have been asking about our early Linux efforts and support for Valve’s SteamOS and Steam Machines. We have good news for you! The 4.1 source code has initial support for running and packaging games for Linux and SteamOS. We love Linux!

 

So, we have the Cryengine, Valve's Source (and unless they go crazy, Source2 too) and now UE4. maybe Valve will fail with its Steam Machines, but Linux users sure will benefit from their effort!


Now they need a major push of publishers actually porting their games. Tho I think most will probably wait until Linux starts actually picking up marketshare before they do, if ever.

Indeed.

They'll probably wait until the Steam Machines are launched and how they do, to actually developing for it.
