The Xbox Cloud Gaming now supports Steam Deck through Microsoft Edge

Microsoft says it has worked closely with Valve to get the Xbox Cloud Gaming working on the Steam Deck. While Steam Deck users have been able to access the Xbox game streaming service, it wasn’t possible to use the handheld controls to play games. Microsoft has now released a beta version of Microsoft Edge for the Steam Deck that includes full support. “We worked closely with Valve and the Xbox Cloud Gaming team to bring support for Xbox Cloud Gaming (Beta) with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate through Microsoft Edge Beta for the Steam Deck,” says Missy Quarry, community manager for Microsoft Edge. While a number of Xbox Game Studios titles are able to run natively on the Steam Deck, Xbox Game Pass isn’t available on Steam, so subscribers will have to stream titles from Microsoft’s service instead. Microsoft’s latest Steam Deck support for Xbox Cloud Gaming comes just weeks after the company detailed its Xbox Game Studios titles for the handheld. The Steam Deck is also now able to run Windows, which provides another way to access Xbox Game Pass titles.
