[Help] Possible to get PC Xbox games on Steam Deck? - eviltoast

So during one of the Xbox Game Pass promotions I signed up for a few months and ended up buying Forza Horizon 4 on sale. I am trying to find a way to play it on Steam Deck, but so far all I have found is guides on how to use the streaming on the Game Pass to play on Steam Deck, which only works with an active Game Pass sub (in my understanding). Has anyone found a way to get games that you have bought through the Windows Xbox store on Steam Deck? I would love to play FH4 on my Deck!

    No because windows runs like ass and most games will run like crap. Better to let the game pass server render the game and push it to your device.

      Windows runs fine on Deck. Performance is similar to SteamOS. SteamOS advantage is the shader pre-cache, which you can get on windows with DXVK. And again, connection isn’t always stable for xcloud, especially if you’re out, which I assume someone who has a portable device is doing.
