I have an xbox with gamepass. All the games I would buy are on gamepass so I don’t want to re buy games that are already available to me through gamepass.
I know I can stream but it’s not always the best experience.
I can install windows and use the Xbox app, but the controls don’t work natively. I can use a third party tool like steam deck tools but I risk a ban in multiplayer games if I use any of the overlay or fan tools.
I love the steam deck but the lack of Xbox gamepass integration makes me want to sell it for a windows handheld.
Any ideas of how I can better integrate Gamepass on my Steam Deck?
Interesting on paper, but good luck running games with that setup.
If I understand correctly this basically starts a container which itself spawns a VM running windows. Good for running Minesweeper and probably not much else.
I tried setting this up and did eventually get some windows apps working but they constantly had display issues, lost mouse focus or the mouse didn’t align inside the app, window resizing issues, etc. Its good for things that are going to be very static and not much else.
Unless I just set it up wrong, which could definitely be the case.
I was merrily listening to Apple Music via WinApps the other day, when the Windows guest threw up a notification that it hadn’t found any malware. Literally no way to dismiss it without quitting out of any WinApps I had open.
Good old Windows.
Agreed, I’m not sure the Deck has the performance necessary to make it work well.
I got it running on my chrultrabook but its NOT fast (installing o365 took 6 hours for example). You’d be pretty period limited to only games prior to around 2014 based on memory limitations.
Personally? I’m a nutter, so I’d have at it just for shits and giggles to see if it’d work then immediately proceed to abuse my newfound power.
I have WinApps running on the little Dell PC I have at work. It’s only an i3 with 8Gb RAM, but it’s ok with Apple Music and MS Office apps. I wouldn’t want to seriously run any games through it, mind.
