Gamepass Ultimate on Linux? (lemm.ee)

Hey all!

So I switched to linux this summer and have been really enjoying it! Pretty much everything I want to play on Steam works with no issue. Everything else seems to get solved with protondb.com.

But I do miss the PC side of my Gamepass Ultimate sub. Is there any way to take advantage of that on linux? I know on Windows you need to use the Xbox app to install things and I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to add them to Steam after that as a non Steam game (couldn't find the executables or whatever).

Anyways, is there some lutris workaround or something for installing and playing Gamepass Ultimate games on linux? Or am I SOL?

Thanks!

Pretty sure they take the normal game files and cram them in a locked folder that only their app can access. Like an OS-specific DRM.

I have seen that. There is a locked folder containing encrypted folders on the root of whatever storage device you install Windows apps/games to from the Microsoft Store.
