Linux and XBox Series S/X Crossplay (Cross-Platform) Games

On this page, you can find Linux and XBox Series S/X cross-platform games. Games listed here are confirmed as working with crossplay between these two platforms.

Linux

Linux is a free and open-source operating system that can be used for gaming. It's popular among independent game developers because it's easy to use and modify. There are also a number of good games available for Linux, including "Super Tux Kart" and "Dota 2". Linux is a great choice for gamers who want to play games on a platform that's not dominated by big commercial publishers. However, it's important to note that many popular games are not yet available for the platform.

XBox Series S/X

The Xbox Series S and X are powerful gaming platforms that offers support for 4K resolution, 60 FPS gameplay, and hardware-accelerated ray tracing. The consoles also feature updated controllers with improved ergonomics and the ability to connect to external storage devices via USB 3.0. The Xbox Series S/X is backwards compatible with nearly all Xbox One-compatible games and accessories, making it easy to transition between generations. At launch, Microsoft encouraged a "soft" transition between generations by offering the "Smart Delivery" framework to publishers. This allowed them to automatically provide upgraded versions of their titles optimized for the new hardware. Microsoft has stated that they were the fastest-selling Xbox models to-date.
