Neverball is a game where you move a ball through a labyrinth and collect coins. I had an issue to get it started on my SpacemiT K1 RISC-V system, but you can start it with Zink (OpenGL through Vulkan).

I have remote access to a SpacemiT K3 RISC-V system. The web interface has a working remote desktop. So I had a look if Vulkan is working.
Judging from the low CPU load mangohud reports, vkcube is running on the PowerVR BXM-4-64.

Jump'n'Bump is a game that you can play with multiple players on one computer. Up to three players can play on a full-size keyboard with a numeric pad, and one more with a mouse. It is also possible to play over a network.

Found another RTS game in the Debian repository that works on RISC-V. Seven Kingdoms Ancient Adversaries had an update in 2025, so it looks like it is still being maintained.

I don't think Globulation 2 is still being developed, but you can still install it from the Debian repository. It also works on RISC-V, but I have an issue with the Settings file. As long as you don't change settings, it plays without a problem.

The Ubuntu team has updated the Steam snap package for ARM. It now includes the msm driver for Snapdragon chips. I wasn't able to enable thunking for OpenGL, but I can enable it for drm and Vulkan.

Colobot is an older game, but it is still being maintained by volunteers. You can program bots to help you with your missions in space.
It is available from the Debian repository (including for ARM and RISC-V), or from the website.

SpacemiT announced the new K3 RISC-V chip. It's RVA23 compliant and has 8 performance cores (X100) and 8 AI cores (A100). We still have to wait a couple of months for the official release, but some people have remote access to some test boards.

I was hoping to test RPCS3 on Windows on ARM. Unfortunately my Snapdragon 8cx Gen 2 is too old. I was able to get Vulkan installed, so I decided to test PPSSPP with Vulkan on Windows on ARM. I get better performance with Vulkan than with Direct3D on Windows on ARM.

Looks like Pinokio AI 5.3.5 is no longer a 1-click solution on ARM Linux. There are issues that two modules don't have the ARM version installed.
You can fix it manually, but npm is not my friend (modules removed).

Having a look at Deepin 25 on the VisionFive 2 RISC-V SBC. Unfortunately Vulkan and OpenGL (ES) are not making use of the PowerVR BXE-4-32 iGPU.
I hope things will get better in 2026.

Play Steam games on Android with GameNative.
You can download it from Github and install through sideloading. So you have to trust the developer, as you will login to Steam through the app. Or wait for Valve to release an official Android app.

Playing Unreal Tournament on ARM Linux. In case you have issues on the Rockchip RK3588 with OpenGL, you can try it with Zink (OpenGL on Vulkan).
And kudos to Epic for giving away the game for free.

Ubuntu released Steam as a Snap package with Fex-Emu for ARM Linux for testing. Not the smoothest experience on my octa-core A72 ARM chip with AMD Radeon RX-550.
It's easy to install (sudo snap install --candidate steam), but it needs some more work for better performance.

Running Yamagi Quake 2 on RISC-V (again), but this time with Vulkan on the SpacemiT K1. I forgot to apply the settings, so you will see it with OpenGL ES 3 first, and after that with Vulkan.

I had to fall back to SDL2 (instead of SDL3), but it plays really nice with OpenGL ES 3.
