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 the only way is cloud gaming via Edge (which, yes, has a Linux version)

I didn't realize there was a cloud gaming option. I have Edge installed for work stuff (Teams and Outlook web) so I'll look into that option. Thanks!

EDIT - Looked into it, works surprisingly well! EXCEPT it requires a controller. Kinda the whole reason I want to play on my computer is to use KBM, otherwise I'll just use the ol Xbox. Oh well, maybe they'll improve it in the future. It's still a beta in theory.
