GNOME Games to Get Major Update for GNOME 3.22 with Flatpak Support, More

The first major new feature will be support for using GNOME Games as a Flatpak on any GNU/Linux distribution that supports this universal binary standard. That right there is amazing news because you will be able to install a new version of the app as soon as it’s out upstream, without having to wait for your distro’s maintainers to release it in the repos. The list of improvements continues with full-screen support (finally), which can be toggled using the F11 or CTRL+F keyboard shortcuts, along with the ability to use the ESC (Escape) key to exit full-screen mode, support for covers that have the same name as the game, and support for pausing and resuming a game when its window loses focus.
