UWPHook VS Sunshine

Edit: here's UWPHook to link gamepass games to steam https://github.com/BrianLima/UWPHook

Use UWP HOOK to allow you to add windows store uwp games to steam as a non steam game.

I used this https://github.com/BrianLima/UWPHook

It's usually difficult because Microsoft UWP DRM on them so you needing tools like UWPHook & other workarounds that have 50% success rate at most. There are rare Gamepass games that don't have UWP so it won't be a problem for them.

You could try using https://github.com/BrianLima/UWPHook this program and testing it. I really doubt it'll work, the VR tag is just a categorisation thing and so it shows up on the HMD page. It doesn't actually trigger any VR capabilities.

Microsoft : This is worst with all from above and you need https://github.com/BrianLima/UWPHook to be able to play against Microsoft DRM.

Another option that could potentially work is to use UWPHook to add your Xbox Game-Pass games to Steam and then simply use Steam Link to stream these games.

There's a nifty little utility called UWP Hook (https://github.com/BrianLima/UWPHook) that scans your Windows Apps and lets you pick them from a drop-down to add to Steam, but there have been a rare couple games that absolutely refuse to show up on the list so i made a bit of a convoluted extra step to gain access privileges to the gamepass install folder and add them from there when needed.

AFAIK the NVFBC patch is no longer required for new Sunshine versions thanks to https://github.com/LizardByte/Sunshine/pull/2471.

However, NVIDIA say that "The NvFBC desktop capture library does not have native Wayland support and does not work with Xwayland" (https://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/565.77/R...), so I guess it's of no use for Wayland users.

Maybe worth mentioning the ppen source server side component as well since it is unclear how long gamestream will continue to work? : https://github.com/LizardByte/Sunshine

Worked like a charm for me in 4k

Something like Sunshine[1], coupled with Moonlight[2]?

RDP as a regular or quick solution is actually really decent in this respect.

Moonlight + Sunshine for a self hosted solution, works with every OS

server: https://github.com/LizardByte/Sunshine/

client: https://github.com/moonlight-stream

You could use sunshine (https://github.com/LizardByte/Sunshine) + moonlight (https://github.com/moonlight-stream/moonlight-qt). To be honest, at least for me, it works better than most of the RDP/VNC stuff.
