Hi,

Just a quick reminder that non free software and especially recommendations on running them is off-topic on this list.

That said, there are some nice games running on guix: openttd, 0ad, minetest to name a few. Have a look at the content of gnu/packages/games.scm :)

You can possibly launch the SteamOS/ubuntu/windows in a Qemu virtual
machine.
That's my plan, I do not want to taint my main installation with closed
source software
