Steam Deck now supports Xbox Cloud streaming via Edge browser

Steam Deck already supports a ton of games, but now you can add Xbox’s cloud gaming service to that list. Microsoft says it worked closely with Valve to enable cloud gaming support, which is now available through the Microsoft Edge browser in beta.
The new addition means that any game that runs through Xbox’s cloud service can now be played on Valve’s handheld system. Microsoft has released step-by-step instructions on how to get Edge working on your Steam Deck, how to change the controller layout to recognize the gamepad, and even custom artwork you can use to set up a hotkey. That’s how Game Pass finally came to iOS devices, via a shortcut button created by a Safari browser. But keep in mind that since you’re editing Linux command lines to change permissions, if you’re doing something wrong, you might need to factory reset.
While this solution isn’t quite the same as Xbox Game Pass support on the Steam Deck, it’s awfully close. The Game Pass library has a lot of crossover with Microsoft’s cloud gaming library, and the only way to even access the cloud gaming service is with a Game Pass Ultimate subscription. Since this goes hand-in-hand with the rest of Microsoft’s services, you should be able to resume your Steam Deck progress from a cloud save and then continue it on your PC or Xbox, or vice versa.
Meanwhile, Steam Deck also supports many games natively, with a growing list of confirmed games. In GameSpot’s Steam Deck review, Alessandro Barbosa called the device “a wonderfully built and powerful portable PC”. Steam Deck pre-orders are currently going out in waves, with the second wave set to start rolling out in April.
