Doesn't work on linux
Duh, the reason there's Game Pass on PC is for people to stay on Windows. Microsoft saw the writing on the wall when Valve released SteamOS and scrambled for a way to keep people on Windows.
And it's working for me (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻
Send help.
No, MS wanted to compete with PlayStation Plus. Linux constitutes about 2% of users on steam. MS doesn't care about Linux gaming and steam OS is no where choose to being a threat to them.
We need a LSW to run the Windows store on Linux as a pacakge manager
Self inflicted problem.
I’m happy not supporting Microsoft’s worse and worse OSs. I’m happy running Arch and it just works for me. Unless a game is predatory or shit it works fine on linux.
Give it some time. Valve is going to work overtime to get it Steam Deck compatible.
It does work on steam deck actually edit: you can downvote me but I'm not wrong, it works great through a browser
I was talking about game pass.
Me too. Game Pass works on steam deck.
Do you have a link?
As far as I can see it's only streaming Xbox Cloud, so no they probably can't supply one
It's a browser solution.

You can use the game pass streaming thing through a browser on steam deck. Not sure if you can install game pass games locally though
Just google it you lazy sod
I did before posting about it not being on Linux to be sure and saw posts about it not being on Linux. If you knew the name of whatever tool allows game pass games to run on Linux you easily could have said so it.
Linux isn’t officially supported anyway. That’s like saying it doesn’t work on PlatStation…
They've applied for steamdeck verification
Not through gamepass.
I love my Steamdeck, it’s great. But ultimately, most games aren’t originally designed to be played on there…
