## What it is
Xodus is a Rust project aiming to bring XBOX PC (Game Pass) games to Linux and possibly macOS by implementing XBOX authentication, MSIXVC package downloading, and on-demand executable decryption. It consists of a CLI, core libraries, and a service process exposing IPC for XBOX services integration.

## Use cases
- download xbox game pass games on linux
- play xbox pc games outside windows
- parse msixvc packages
- authenticate with xbox services on linux
- run game pass titles under wine

## When to choose
- you want to run XBOX PC Game Pass games on Linux
- you need a tool to download and decrypt MSIXVC packages
- you're comfortable with experimental, CLI-driven workflows

## When to avoid
- you need a polished, end-user-ready game launcher today
- you want to play titles not in GDK/MSIXVC format
- you need Minecraft Bedrock or backward-compatibility titles working out of the box

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: experimental
- function: auth, http-client, rpc, parser, cli
- domain: gaming-tools, operating-systems, reverse-engineering, cross-platform
- platform: rust, cli
- tags: xbox, game-pass, msixvc, wine, gaming-migration, drm-licensing, linux
