Playing Xbox games on your Steam Deck isn't officially supported by Valve, but there's a workaround! You can use Cloud Gaming (with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate) to stream Xbox games directly to your device through a web browser. Simply log into your Xbox account through a browser on your Steam Deck, navigate to the Cloud Gaming section, and start playing any game available in the Xbox Game Pass library!

Short and sweet: Install Windows on your Steam Deck, then download the Xbox app. You can play any games you own or use Xbox Game Pass. Just be ready for some tweaking to get everything running smoothly!

Been there, done that! Installed Windows on my Steam Deck and got the Xbox app up and running. Sure, it takes a bit of effort, but playing Halo on this portable beast? Totally worth it.

Actually, why bother? The Steam Deck is designed for PC games, and there's plenty of those. While you *can* get Xbox games to run, it's kinda like putting square pegs in round holes. Stick to the Steam library; it's vast and optimized for the Deck.
