How To Get Xbox Game Pass On Steam Deck
Xbox Game Pass is a hugely popular subscription service that allows anyone with a Microsoft account and a spare $15 each month to access a huge suite of games. What makes Game Pass so compelling for many fans is that they can play dozens of high-quality titles on console, PC, or mobile devices. A recent question that has popped up in regards to this supported device list is whether or not Valve's new portable PC, Steam Deck, will be able to run Game Pass titles. The short answer is yes, but not in the way that players might think. For that, you'll need to access the library of games in Xbox Cloud Gaming.
Microsoft recently announced it has discovered a workaround to get Game Pass running on Steam Deck. However, since the application itself is so intertwined with Windows OS, which is finicky on Steam Deck at the moment, players need to find another way to access their Game Pass titles. Luckily, Microsoft's method does just that by getting Game Pass to run directly from a browser on Steam Deck. This is done through accessing Xbox Cloud Gaming, which is a service offered to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers. By using the cloud, players can run their games through a browser, which Xbox Cloud Gaming needs to be able to work, and still have their progress saved. While this method is fairly complicated at the moment, programmers at Microsoft have ensured fans that the process will become simpler over time.
