Proton + game pass

datnoz · Jan 23, 2024

Hello,
So I have the games pass, and I want to switch to linux (cuz for me w11 is horrible and older are out of support).
My only question is :
Is there a way to run the xbox game pass app on linux ?
Cuz I've seen some posts and people were like it's 50/50

Nope. Game Pass relies on a certain framework that includes services that run on Windows and don't have Linux equivalents.

Yeah, as mentioned, that’s a no. It runs through the XBox app which isn’t available on Linux. Unless you do something truly out there, like running a Windows VM on Linux and playing through that.

only streaming through a browser works.
Windows Store applications (Xbox app, games from there etc.) do not work under linux.
the same games purchased on steam work fine except when they are blocking linux with their anti cheat malware.
