People were worried that big games releasing these few weeks would overshadow indie games. Seems like that’s luckily not the case.

    I can play it for free through both GamePass and PS+ and yet I still bought it on Steam.

    Suffice it to say the Steam Deck has changed how I consume certain games.

        Did you have to install windows? I had tried that but the performance was really bad and the fans would constantly be going nuts 😕

          There doesn’t seem to be any copy protection for the Game Pass version. I just copied the game install folder from my PC to my Steam Deck, then added the .exe as a non steam game with Proton 8 and it works fine on my deck.

          You can use a web browser in the default os desktop mode. There are guides for it, even to start it from the deck interface I believe.

      I thought this would be viable through Game Pass Cloud streaming. Bummer if it isn’t since Moonlight can’t find games installed on Game Pass on my pc. Might have to settle for a payment though Steam as well, then :)

        But you could still use your phone to remote play to your PC or XBox isn’t it?

        You could even add a non Steam game to make it usable with Steam Link.

          You can just play it with Game Pass Cloud streaming. There are no issues with this game specifically.

          Generally though, as far as I know, you can’t add games installed locally by Game Pass as a non Steam Game. They aren’t installed in the traditional sense. No .exe, for example.
