    Xbox is transitioning to “release on everything”, so their upcoming games will all work on proton (apart from COD etc that have anti-cheat, although wouldn’t surprise me if they make that linux compatible eventually). Microsoft would rather you subscribe to game pass to play their games on Linux than not subscribe to game pass and not give them any money. It wouldn’t surprise me if they eventually released a Linux Xbox app.
