PC Game Pass is now playable on Steam Deck without installing Windows. Xodus Nexus is an open-source Linux launcher that lets you download and run supported Microsoft Store and PC Game Pass games locally through a modified Wine/Proton setup. The latest update adds experimental Steam Deck support, including controller navigation and Steam Gaming Mode integration. You can even add the launcher or individual games to your Steam library. Games already tested on Linux include Gears of War: E-Day, Forza Horizon 6, Deep Rock Galactic, Minecraft Dungeons II, No Man’s Sky and Palworld. It’s still very much a work in progress. Some games don’t work, older UWP titles aren’t supported, and some login or online features can have problems.
