PAYDAY 2 came to Linux officially back in 2016 but as of today they've removed support for it, so it will no longer see updates on the Native Linux version.

It does, however, still work quite well with the Windows version via Steam Play Proton on desktop Linux and is Steam Deck Verified against the Windows version in Proton. So while it’s a loss of support for their Native build, it’s still fully playable on Linux.

Same, as long as they continue to test and verify the game works on Proton and provide support for Linux users using it, the game still works on Linux. Wine/Proton and DXVK/d3d12 have gotten really damn good these days, and I don’t mind that games are relying on them to work well on Linux if they actually hold true to officially supporting Proton as a platform.
