Not sure why they haven’t done this given that Gamepass is their bread winner and they have no handled equivalent. Giving SD users easy access to their catalog would only increase their sales.

    What do Microsoft gain out of this? You can stream it through anything that can run an internet browser, and if you’re desperate for it on the Deck locally it’s easy to install Windows onto an SD card or internal drive. Making it a Steam app also means they forfeit a cut of their subs to Valve. Making it a bit easier for a tiny minority of the gaming market makes very little sense.

    I don’t see Valve being overly keen seeing a game service with as many games as Gamepass does on its store either to be honest, considering they kinda want you to buy stuff.
