To get PC Game Pass games running on your Steam Deck, you're gonna have to sidestep Steam's OS. First, install Windows on your Steam Deck because Game Pass needs Windows to work. It's a bit of a workaround, but once you've got Windows running, you can download the Xbox app and log into your Game Pass subscription. Just remember, it's like turning your Steam Deck into a mini Windows PC!

Short answer? You can't directly. PC Game Pass games aren't natively supported on Steam Deck's SteamOS. But, if you're up for a challenge, install Windows on your Steam Deck, and you're good to go with accessing Game Pass.

Honestly, why bother? The Steam Deck is optimized for Steam. Throwing Windows and Game Pass into the mix sounds like a battery drain nightmare. Stick to Steam's vast library; it's what the Deck does best.
