Can Gamers Using Linux + Proton Access MS Xbox Game Pass Titles Or Titles From MS Store?
Ursprungligen skrivet av Balderick:
It will be interesting to see how well Psychonauts 2 performs on Steam Deck running through SteamOS 3.0/Proton in comparison to Xbox X/S

Well for the case for Psychonauts 2, the game is planned to come to Linux and Mac natively later this year.

I just see subscribing to cloud gaming services as an alternative to upgrading the hardware on local pc - especially with what we hav seen with availability and price of gaming GPUs in this last year or two.

Have to admit buying a current gen console has never been so appealing too, especially when considering the OG Steam Machines were supposed to be console killers.

I found Shield TV and cloud gaming made it a pc killer - removing the need to own a high end gaming spec PC

Having used Stadia and GeForce Now, I can say cloud streaming is cool tech but its far from perfect. Both have very noticeable video compression artifacting (especially during lag spikes) and split second to multi second lag spikes due to Internet bandwidth and connection reliability fluctuations can cause massive input lag. This is even worse over Wifi networks. When my internet is working perfectly, it can be a somewhat satisfactory and maybe not see a lag spike for several minutes at a time. However, it's nothing I would consider great or as good as playing locally. When things aren't working well, it can be completely unusable garbled slideshow lol.

I suppose if you have a rock-solid fiber connection to a data center within a hundred miles or so, you can obtain an near native experience but real world conditions are generally far less ideal.

The original Steam Machines were a good idea by attempting to expand the audience of the open PC ecosystem as opposed to the walled garden consoles. But not being able to play 80% of the games on Steam was an obvious deal breaker as were the stupidly high prices for some of the machines.

Steam Deck can be in a better position to compete if Valve can deliver on it's Proton compatibility promise. There are far more native Linux games compared to before, the Deck is priced aggressively low and the Switch-like form factor is in popular demand compared to a living room computer.

The question is whether or not Valve can deliver on that promise. Many games are still not click and play and require tweaks with Protontricks and custom environmental variables. Something like Glorious Eggroll's Protonfixes scripts could help here. Then there is of course kernel anti-cheat that Valve promises to solve but hasn't yet.

That seems like a lot of hoops to jump through but thanks for sharing the synopsis of what is possible option.

Shadow cloud gaming supports games from MS Store and have a linux client iirc as well as support many other platforms as client but they currently have a one year waiting list in UK (Paris server region) but could be considered a much more plug and play option for linux users wanting access to MS Store apps which will probably work better than xcloud.

Shadow's future is uncertain with it's bankruptcy and convincing gamers to cough up $30 per month after spending $400+ on a handheld PC meant to play games locally will be a tough sell.

XCloud game streaming should be fine for Game Pass Ultimate, especially considering that the Deck's native screen resolution is 800p.

But like I said, ANY other store besides Windows Store would be far better to purchase individual games from. In fact, even if I used Windows regularly, I wouldn't want to buy games from the Microsoft Store because it's known to be buggy and malfunction and pure UWP games on the store can have limitations compared to Win32 counterparts on Steam.
