PC Game Pass still does not work locally on Linux, but Xodus has completed several parts of the download and licensing process and is now tackling Xbox game services.
Just of note, this is worked on by the team at Heroic (a game launcher that’s like Lutris but specifically for game stores, like GOG), certainly not Microsoft. Why on earth would MS willingly reduce the dominance of Windows? They’re a for-profit megacorporation! It’s one of the reasons why Minecraft Bedrock isn’t natively supported by Linux. They can definitely do it, it runs on C++, they just choose not to and have Windows have the privilege of running Java and Bedrock editions of Minecraft.
