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!
It’s a very, very intentional move: you must link a Microsoft account to play, but it’s a “different account” so no transfer of saves. So different that it will remember all your records, will show races as already done (lots of fun figuring out what you still need to do), you can edit tunes previously shared (can’t edit them unless they’re yours) and if you want to try and launch both versions of the game it will complain about being already logged in on a different machine.
