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

    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.

    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.

    UWP looks like it still isn't supported, which is probably the main blocker on Linux. That's a Wine level feature, though, and likely requires a huge amount of work for only a relatively small amount of games.

    Forza Horizon 3 is probably the only game from the UWP era I care about, though.

    Forza Horizon 3

    FH3 was the only game I ever bought on the Xbox App and it stopped working for me after a year so I ended up having to grab a cracked copy anyway. Was all back when I still used Windows.
