    I realize this is the linux gaming sub, but it’s worth mentioning that this is on Gamepass too (I still use Gamepass on Xbox even though I don’t game on Windows anymore).

        I kinda do too. It’s nice having the option to play Gamepass games on PC or console. Some games are just more comfy on one than the other.

      Xbox cloud seems like a decent alternative when games simply don’t run easily on Linux

        Xbox cloud requires a controller, which kinda defeats the purpose of playing on PC imho.

        That said, it DOES work well if you’re into that kinda thing. I tested it out with MS Edge installed via flatpak.

          Yeah, of course. There are plenty. I couldn’t play Ghostwire Tokyo at all. And Ghostrunner required some random Windows package, vc2019 or something like that. That’s just off the top of my head.

            From epic freebies? I got it running by just installing vcrun via wine tricks button in heroic launcher. Steam games usually install these at first launch behind the scenes.

              you can simply run the .exe installer for VC on the same prefix, exactly like you would do on windows, so not any harder at all.

              I don’t know what any of that means but it’s not something I ever had to do with Windows.
