What FreeBSD games do you play?
Some non-DRM games can be run manually through the Linux emulation layer, I made myself a helper script for this in '16: run-libpath - unfortunately not all games worked. I played VA-11 HALL-A and Papers Please at least.

What is the status of gaming on FreeBSD?
GNU libc isn't a problem, or almost all programs would not work. ;) The problem can be Linux (the kernel) systems calls. For example, Steam uses some hacks (emulation of system calls) to run on FreeBSD. Here is a source code of FreeBSD package: https://github.com/shkhln/linuxulator-steam-utils

What FreeBSD games do you play?
Another option is to use games/linux-steam-utils. It will install the Linux version of Steam. Not everything works, here is the compatibility list.

From macOS to FreeBSD
You could (to some extent) say the same thing about FreeBSD: https://github.com/shkhln/linuxulator-steam-utils/wiki/Compa...

CSGO on FreeBSD?
Please note, this is an unofficial wrapper for the Steam client and as such it is supported on a best effort basis. Limitations: - Sandbox is disabled for the web browser component. - Valve Anti-Cheat doesn't work with FreeBSD < 13. - No controller input, no streaming, no VR. - No support for Linux Proton builds. Additional dependencies: - If you use an NVIDIA card, you need to install a suitable x11/linux-nvidia-libs(-xxx) port. Steam setup: 1. Create a dedicated FreeBSD non-wheel user account for Steam. Switch to it. 2. Run `steam-install` to download the Steam bootstrap executable. 3. Run `steam` to download updates and start Steam. For the list of tested Linux games see https://github.com/shkhln/linuxulator-steam-utils/wiki/Compatibility. Native Proton setup (optional, semi-experimental): 1. Run `sudo pkg install wine-proton libc6-shim python3`. 2. Run `/usr/local/wine-proton/bin/pkg32.sh install wine-proton mesa-dri`. 3. In Steam install Proton 6.3 (appid 1580130). 4. Run `lsu-register-proton` to register emulators/wine-proton as a compatibility tool. 5. Restart Steam. To enable emulators/wine-proton right click a game title in Steam, click Properties, click Compatibility, select emulators/wine-proton.

[Question] Problems setting up Homura/Steam-linux-utils
Yea, thats what I do, and it works great. git clone https://github.com/shkhln/linuxulator-steam-utils

1.13% to be exact 😎
Looking at this and this, it looks like you can get Steam to run native GNU/Linux games on FreeBSD, but Proton is a no-go.
