Honestly, why bother? Just steam (pun intended) your Xbox games via cloud or use the Steam library. It's way simpler and what the Deck's made for.
Installing the Xbox app on your Steam Deck is like turning it into a little Xbox on the go! First, switch your Steam Deck to Desktop Mode. Then, open the Discover Software Center, search for 'Wine' or 'Proton,' and install it – this lets you run Windows apps. Next, download the Xbox app for Windows. Right-click the .exe, open Properties, go to the Compatibility tab, and set it to run with Wine. Double-click, follow the setup, and voilà, Xbox away on your Steam Deck!
Pro tip: If you hit any snags installing the Xbox app, make sure you have the latest version of SteamOS. Sometimes, it's just that simple.
