    If they bring it to Steam Deck, they’d probably get 1M more.

      That’s for fixing sure. I’m no shill for any company, but game pass is by far the most value-for-money subscription out there. Netflix is more expensive and doesn’t give even half the entertainment value.

      We’ll see if the price doesn’t get prohibitive over the next 5 years.

      For sure! I once dual booted Windows on a Steam Deck just so I could get access to PC Gamepass and it was a miserable experience. The two top annoyances in Windows were:

      • Having to install a 3rd party apps to get the controls to be recognized.

      • The APU drivers weren’t being maintained for new releases (maybe that’s AMD/Valve’s fault), so I couldn’t boot a new release (at the time) like Cocoon.

      You need to bump to ultimate level for access to the console version, but you can already set this up. It’s not trivial though. Not sure I’d recommend it though.

        I assume you’re talking about the cloud version? My coworker said they could access Game Pass through the browser on Steam Deck, but that’s not really the same as running on Steam Deck, that’s streaming to Steam Deck.

        I think there are a lot of Steam Deck owners who want games running on the Deck before buying the service (I’m one of them).
