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!

Technically, I am still setup to dual boot to Windows. But now that I've been off it for months, I really don't want to go back even for "free" games. It feels like a triumph to be off it and every day I don't go back into it when I can easily dual boot feels like a big middle finger to MS. I've been finding different ways to do that since the 80's when I used DR-DOS instead of MS-DOS. :-D
