Being a PC, and thanks to Valve not limiting what users download onto the Steam Deck, you’re able to install Windows on the Steam Deck to get Xbox Game Pass for PC.

While you won’t be able to get Xbox Game Pass for PC working straight away, there are ways to circumvent the preloaded SteamOS. Since SteamOS doesn’t support any other launchers out of the gate, accessing Epic Games Store or even Xbox Game Pass for PC can seem out of the question at first. Its SteamOS is specially designed to give the user the best experience possible, but it can stand in the way of using other launchers and game libraries. The Steam Deck is essentially a handheld Linux PC, meaning it can do quite a bit more than first appearances indicate.
