GamePass doesn't work because it uses a proprietary encryption method for all the games. It's why you can't mod them (unless explicitly allowed by MS, which then decrypts the files to be modified). The games almost all work perfectly well on Linux. It's specifically an issue with the GamePass platform, which was designed by MS to only work on Windows. It's MS making the choice to not allow it to work anywhere else.
