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.

Honestly I think it’s a good thing. With wine we’re reimplementing the win32 api, which means that we make things more portable. This brings games to more devices with less hassle, and I’m all for that.
