The Xbox Store, including Game Pass, remains a notable outlier, but work has recently begun to address that gap. Project Xodus aims to bring the Xbox Store to Mac and Linux gaming devices such as the Steam Deck and Steam Machine. Microsoft recently began testing Xbox backward compatibility on PC by releasing four original Xbox games that never received PC ports. The Xbox PC storefront, along with Game Pass, forms a pillar of Microsoft's gaming strategy. A working compatibility layer for natively running Game Pass titles on Mac and Linux devices could broaden the subscription service's appeal.
