Short answer: You can't, not directly at least. Game Pass and Steam are two different playgrounds. If you're willing to jump through some hoops (like installing Windows on your Steam Deck), then it's game on!

Actually, Steam Deck runs on SteamOS, which is based on Linux, and Xbox Game Pass is not natively supported. BUT, you can still get your Game Pass fix! You'd need to install Windows on your Steam Deck, which, yes, is totally doable. After that, just download the Xbox app, log in with your Microsoft account, and boom, Game Pass glory on your handheld beast.

Been there, done that! Installed Windows on my Steam Deck just to get Xbox Game Pass. It鈥檚 a bit of work, but totally worth it for the games. Make sure to back up your SteamOS setup though, just in case you wanna switch back.

Honestly? Just enjoy Steam. It's got a vast library, and while the Game Pass has its perks, the hassle might not be worth it for everyone.
