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?

Probably better off just selling and going with an windows handheld, just of course make sure to look into whether or not the device will actually work with pc gamepass and how well it handles most games

I thought of doing that. Waiting to see if the Xbox Ally is good
