The Nintendo Switch Alternative Steam Deck is to be a portable PC, with which you have access to your Steam library everywhere. But the handheld should not only be compatible with Steam, but also with third-party software. For example, you can have access to the Microsoft Store and the Xbox Game Pass.
Xbox boss Phil Spencer did not take it to test the Steam Deck before the release in December. And as he can confirm now, some of the Xbox titles run really well on the device.
Steam deck is very xbox-friendly
Spencer shares his experiences with the Steam Deck on Twitter. He was allowed to test games like Halo and Age of Empires on the handheld and finds that the Steam Deck is a good device for playing the Xbox title:

What praises Spencer? The Xbox boss mainly lifts the screen size, the control and the ability to play games on the way. The Xcloud service, with which Xbox games can be played from the Xbox Game Pass on all external devices such as smartphones, runs perfectly on the steam deck.
How can I use Xcloud? The streaming service can be used at any time if your member of Xbox Game Pass is Ultimate. If you have completed a subscription at this service, you can immediately get started on the device of your choice and stream Xbox games. These include numerous Android, Apple and Windows 10 devices.
Is my Xbox Game Pass subscription sufficient? Unfortunately no. You must have subscribed to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, which gives you additionally access to the online multiplayer. The Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is a combination of Xbox Game Pass and Xbox Live Gold and connects access to a large game library with the online functions.
