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!

    Oh, that’s a bummer but thanks for the update. I was thinking of buying the ultimate pass just so I could play Minecraft bedrock but I am not going to be playing that with a controller.

      There’s a flatpak (I think it’s a flatpak) that runs the android version of bedrock on Linux. It’d save you a carp ton as well!

        Eh yeah I know that but I don’t know if I really want the android version. My son has it and I assume it’d be pretty clunky on desktop.

          You kidding? Runs SEAMLESS on my 3yo acer laptop. Haven’t tried any major lagging but so far regular gameplay never slowed down on me.

              People manage to use Ubuntu fine, and that’s about as mobile-interface-on-desktop as it gets.

              By the way, the format is the same as bedrock is normally on pc. If you’ve used it on windows, this is no different.
