While not meant to be used as x11 sandbox, it could work as one, if used with private-tmp and /tmp/.X11-unix writable.

gamescope creates it's own socket, using Xwayland, when an x11 app starts with it and only needs access to the wayland socket.

The benefit for using gamescope would mainly be graphics acceleration with x sandboxing.

Maybe something like if "x11 gamescope" is in config files, do not map .X11-unix folder from host system and leave the dir writable.
