The ability to right-click on a game on your library to access more settings is something Microsoft's Windows platform has been training me to do for years. The Xbox app is also missing tons of features that competing platforms offer. The fact the Xbox app can't offer this, while Steam, and even the Epic Games Store, can, is a big problem. If I click on something, the action should be instantaneous, in all scenarios. Right-clicking menus and general navigation is held up by the loading of assets from the web, which is just poor design. Sending messages on Xbox Live through the Xbox app is a painfully slow experience. You'd think that fewer features would lead to a more streamlined, speedier app. Expecting users to accept the painfully slow, well, everything given that competition exists just a click or two away isn't smart business. Microsoft: You're competing with Steam and Discord for a lot of the features you're offering here. We would love to see a native app on the Steam Deck one day, but for now, this workaround should suffice.The first issue with the Xbox app on Windows 10 is just plain ol' speed. This workaround feels a lot like the workaround Microsoft used to get its game streaming service onto devices like Apple’s iPhones and iPads.

Keep in mind that you will also need to have a valid and active subscription to Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass Ultimate to stream Xbox games. Thankfully though, Microsoft has provided gamers with the instructions on how to go about doing it, so if you have some time to spare and would like more options when it comes to gaming on the device, then do check it out. We worked closely with our friends at Valve to support #Xcloud #XboxGamePass through Microsoft Edge for the Steam Deck. This will be achieved through its Edge browser, but the catch is that you’ll need to download the Linux version of the Edge browser and install it on the console. In a post on Reddit, Microsoft has actually announced that they will be supporting streaming on the Steam Deck. However, there is a catch and that is you’ll need to create a workaround. We suppose that would have been pretty obvious, but what if you wanted to stream using a different service? The good news is that it looks like you’ll be able to stream Xbox games through the console as well. Valve’s new Steam Deck handheld console supports streaming via Steam Link.
