Over the last few years, Microsoft has grown the Xbox brand on PC. From PC Game Pass to launching games on Steam, largely, the push has been a success. Now, Xbox is beginning to support Valve's new handheld device, the Steam Deck.
As Windows becomes supported on Steam Deck, so do a bunch of Xbox Games. The Deck now supports almost 15 Xbox Game Studios titles, all of which, of course, are available on Steam. Here's the full list:
- Deathloop
- Psychonauts 2
- Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice
- The Evil Within
- Fallout Shelter
- Prey
- Battletoads
- Max: The Curse of Brotherhood
- Sea of Thieves
- Fallout 4
- Forza Horizon 4
- Forza Horizon 5
- Quantum Break
- State of Decay: Year One Survival Edition
These 14 games are split into two categories based on overall compatibility, as Microsoft says each studio works on their game's Steam Deck support. Deathloop through Max: The Curse of Brotherhood are all classed as "Verified", meaning they're fully optimised. Sea of Thieves through State of Decay are "Playable", which means they work but some features may be missing.
Sadly, four pretty huge games miss out on any official Deck compatibility due to their anti-cheat methods. These titles are Gears 5, Halo: The Master Chief Collection, Halo Infinite, and Microsoft Flight Simulator.
Will you be playing these Xbox games on Steam Deck? Or are you holding out for an Xbox handheld device? Let us know below.

Microsoft Flight Simulator has anti-cheat? Why? Genuinely interested
@themightyant Also my first thought, anti-cheat and flightsim...lol... huh?
@BBB Haha. I just watched the Obi-wan trailer, so it was the right combo for me!
Seriously considering getting one of these to have a portable xbox/playstation. Streaming works fine but requires more steps than I usually want to take unfortunately. Hoping they can keep up with supply towards the end of the year.
Quantum break, forgot about that game, havent finished that one yet.
I'm more interested to see how the Steam Deck performs now Valve have released drivers for Windows.
Not really interested in buying my Xbox games again on Steam...
@themightyant FS X had a bunch of speed glitches and weird hacky-ness, my guess is the anti-cheat is to try and stop people breaking the realism in multiplayer lol.
Have been playing with one of these heavy duty portable consoles. And…Look and feel great. Screen is nice and actually it’s not too heavy at all. But there are so many bugs when trying to download games and stream at times.
It feels very rushed and for the price it’s not really worth it. They will bring out an updated version in the next 2 years and maybe then it will be a mainstream handheld, but right now it’s just feels a little bit undercooked.
@redd214 To get the best experience you need to play it where you have good work fi or 5G.
Totally misses the point of playing ‘on the go.’
@jarvismp makes sense. Not at all a deal breaker for me as I doubt it would leave my house but thanks for the info!
@BBB Full disclosure, I’m drunk as ****. But this comment is 10/10.
