One of the Heroic devs is working on project Xodus, which is aiming to make game pass and other windows store games work on Linux/steam deck. They already have Xbox logins, license checks, and game downloads working, but are still working on the games themselves.
An important note:
That being said, the Xodus project is targeting games using Microsoft’s newer GDK and MSIXVC format. Older apps that use the UWP format, such as many games released during the Windows 8 and early Windows 10 period (Forza Horizon 3, Gears of War 4), aren’t planned to be supported.

Guys even if you hate microslop, this is not a bad thing to have the option for those who do use it. If it gets more people over to Linux I only see that as a good thing.
Microsoft will break things faster than hobby devs can keep up.
Are you saying that they’ll intentionally sabotage attempts to play Microsoft store/game pass games outside of their platform due to malice, or that they’ll constantly break their own systems through incompetence and vibe coding?
Yes. And Yes.
to be honest i dont care about game passes, i prefer to buy my games on gog so i can have them drm free. But this is indeed a cool thing. A lot of people still dualboot for these xbox gamepass things.
Can’t wait to give Microsoft ever more money for not owning my games. Profit off of me harder, daddy.
I hate Microslop just like anyone else, but the Forza Horizon games currently have me have a dualboot system. (Got them ALL in the xbox store)
