Gamepass with Proton? (lemmy.world)

I've been blown away by being able to finally, at long last, game on my linux machine. Between emulators and Steam's Proton, I'm rarely if every needing to boot into W$ just for games. That said,while I can play the gamepass web streaming thing, I don't know if there is a way to use gamepass locally with Proton. Is that possible?

You could go down the GPU Passthrough option to a VM. If you have integrated and and another GPU you could use LookingGlass and never even have to leave the Linux instance. Single passthrough is what i use to run Gamepass as you do get some good games Day one.

Would be interesting to hear otherwise, but my understanding is that there is no way to use gamepass inside linux. The xbox app for windows is super tightly integrated with the windows store, so i don't think there is a way to get that running via proton.

Someone else ITT suggested gpu pass through, but I haven’t given that a go. Otherwise yes looks like the only option is rebooting into the windows partition.
