Is it available to replace my existing install?

[–] newthrowaway20@lemmy.world 29 points 5 days ago

It auto updated for me on Steam Deck and Bazzite, so if you're using either of those it should be.

it should use the linux version automatically, as long as you don't have any overrides in the compatibility (proton) settings

On desktop I just turned off the compatibility settings for proton and then reinstalled. Steam cloud held all my saves and they were unaffected.
