  I don’t understand the point of this. You can’t use PC game pass to play any Xbox exclusives, and everything else is already available on PC.

    People have wanted game pass on steamOS for a long time, a lot of people are already paying for it, and want to be able to play those games without buying it again.

    Of course game pass isn’t as good of a deal as it used to be, so the demand is smaller now.

      Good points. Thank you for clarifying!

      Even when it was a better deal, I would constantly forget it was a thing and later find I could have tried steam games I got on sale for “free” (considering I was playing the sub at the time either way). Though tbh, that only really mattered for the games I ended up not liking, since I’m glad I already had the ones I did like on steam when I cancelled my xbox gamepass sub right before switching to linux, as it was the last thing holding me back.

  Too little too late; this would’ve been great back when I first switched to Linux but now it’s a shitty deal.

  Can we play windows store games though? I still have some that I haven’t rebought yet.

    Yes it can, but not all windows store games are supported. The full compatibility list is here

    My understanding is that most newer releases are supported, but older games (mainly those using UWP) aren’t working yet.
