Game pass on Linux? (lemm.ee)

Obviously this is a long shot but is there any way to get game pass working on Linux? I realise most of the games can be played through steam but it is a good way to try out new games cheaply

Unless I missed something recently, I think not (unless maybe a W10 VM works for you?). With CPU-bundled AMD gamepass I know many people had a reason to be interested, such as myself who had the bundle in 2019 and never redeemed it because of the lack of support.

I think at one point I may have read something about dual-boot (again, a big maybe), assuming the game you want is not UWP and you're willing to install it in Windows and move it.

Also when searching that, I did see someone mention streaming from W10 to Linux, so that may be a (not-ideal) option.

I'm happy to run a VM if the performance is ok, problem is then I've gotta figure out GPU virtualization/passthrough which I believe is possible with my GPU. It's either that or I use their streaming service

Dual booting is a last resort, I switched to Linux for a reason, I've got used to it now and am unwilling to switch back on bare metal.

VFIO machine will real gpu works as expected - perfect. Native options are years away if any - nobody seems to work in cracking uwp to get running under wine... and honestly I'm not surprised.
