Nope, the Steam Deck is all about those Steam games and PC titles. Direct Xbox game support? Not happening. But hey, with a little creativity (and maybe some technical gymnastics), you might find a way to get your Xbox game fix on the go.

Unfortunately, the Steam Deck can't directly play Xbox games because it's designed to run games from your Steam library, which primarily supports PC titles. However, there's a workaround for the tech-savvy: you can install Windows on Steam Deck, then use the Xbox app or cloud gaming services to play some Xbox games. It's not the most straightforward process, but it's a way to get some of your Xbox favorites to run on this portable gaming powerhouse.

In my experience, while you can't just pop in an Xbox game and expect it to work on the Steam Deck, I've had some success streaming Xbox games using cloud services. It's a bit of a roundabout method but does the trick for playing a few Xbox exclusives on the device.
