\"Some<\/a><\/p>\n

One of the big features Steam Deck owners have been requesting for years now is native Xbox Game Pass<\/a> support, but it’s something that’s never been added to Steam – and the Xbox PC app isn’t officially supported on there either.<\/p>\n

That’s not to say you’re totally out of luck though. One option is to stream Xbox Game Pass titles as part of the Xbox Cloud Gaming<\/a> service, another is to dual-boot Windows on there, and a third more recently discovered option is to download PC Game Pass titles from other launchers such as Battle.net.<\/p>\n

A Steam Deck user has been highlighting this on the system’s Reddit page today, pointing out that they’ve been playing Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4<\/a> “flawlessly” by linking their Xbox account to Battle.net and downloading it from there.<\/p>\n

A quick glance at the official Battle.net FAQ<\/a> reveals that 15 Xbox \/ PC Game Pass titles are currently playable through Battle.net, and this includes some major releases such as Avowed<\/a>, DOOM: The Dark Ages<\/a> and Sea Of Thieves<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And apparently, it’s not just Battle.net that works this way. Other Steam Deck users have pointed out that you can play Xbox Game Pass titles from EA Play and Ubisoft+ through their respective launchers on the system as well.<\/p>\n

So, there you go! Obviously this isn’t the optimal way to play Xbox Game Pass titles on a handheld, but it’s a fantastic option if you’re already a Steam Deck owner and you’re hoping to squeeze some extra juice out of your subscription.<\/p>\n

We’d love to hear how you access your Game Pass titles on Valve’s device – let us know in the comments.<\/p>\n
