It is currently not possible. Games installed through GamePass have some kind of Windows compatibility layer which cannot be run by any wine or proton versions. At least not yet.
Dang. Thanks! I’m assuming for eg Steamdeck folks are installing windows for game pass?
Yep, for steamdeck your options are to install windows or to stream. Greenlight is a good linux application that handles the streaming better than the website imo. It can also do remote play if you have an Xbox, which generally has much lower input latency.
Some might be using the cloud based game pass, although I haven't tried it myself.
Yeah that works pretty well; but doesn’t solve the issue of needing/preferring a local install.
For sure. I can tell you it's a very long way off, if ever, unless Microsoft step in and port it themselves.
To get some idea, even on windows if you have your time wrong you cannot open some games and others will work with partial support so, this will never be a thing.
