More than likely it won't work if the game has stringent DRM but it has worked for some apps and games in the Windows Store, assuming they are MSIX packaged Win32 apps and not pure UWP based.

I've had a couple people tell me that this method works in some cases-not necessarily Game Pass though. The 'mf-install' script on github can possibly help if that occurs but is a legal gray area. Some games may have problems with Media Foundation and cut-scenes, even with Wine TKG/GE/Lutris builds. You may need to examine a similar Lutris installer script for the game to see if you need to use winetricks to install any extra DLLs. the Steam app on GeForce Now has been removed for about nine months now - which is afaiu due to newer restrictions enforced by Nvidia - though little info on this matter has been confirmed by Nvidia or Valve.Īs far as playing Xbox Game Pass games locally (without xCloud) on Linux, it really isn't supported and improbable but there is a method that you can try and see if it works for you.ġ) Install Windows 10 in a virtual machine or dual-bootģ) Use the Xbox app on Windows to download/install a game on Game Pass.Ħ) Copy the dumped unencrypted game folder to your Linux filesystem via a virtual machine folder share or mount the NTFS partition.ħ) Use Lutris or Bottles to create a custom prefix for the game and see if you can get it to run. I have Xbox |Game Pass Ultimate subscription because of xcloud and feel i need to start thinking more about which Store i buy my games from since so little is known about the new arch build of SteamOS + Proton and Valves plans for the future of cloud gaming. MS have been trying to encourage Valve and Epic to make their clients available through MS Store, which echos what Gaben was claiming about MS intentions back in c.2013 and was one of the bigger reasons SteamOS came into existence - but those older blogs have been deleted from Valve blog.ĭo all PC games added to MS Store now show as Xbox Game Studios as publisher? Psychonauts 1 supports SteamOS and is available from Steam Store and MS Store. Just saw that Psychonauts 2 is now being published by Xbox Game Studios and only supports windows but is available from Steam Store and MS Store.
