RELATED: The PlayStation 2's Loading Screen Is Deeper Than Players Realize Afterward, launching Steam from the Desktop will let the gamers finalize the process of turning Microsoft Edge into a functional Xbox Cloud Gaming application. Much like executing commands in Windows Command Prompt, typing "flatpak -user override -filesystem=/run/udev:ro " and hitting the Enter key will grant the browser the access it needs to operate within the SteamOS environment. Once they have highlighted Microsoft Edge and confirmed their choice via "Add Selected Programs," they should return to the Application Launcher and peruse the System menu to run Konsole.īecause Microsoft Edge cannot utilize the device's controls without udev, its access needs to be overridden. By right-clicking its icon, a new window will pop up, from which the gamers can add the browser to Steam. We would love to see a native app on the Steam Deck one day, but for now, this workaround should suffice.After installing the browser, the next step is to navigate the Application Launcher from the Desktop to locate Microsoft Edge within the dedicated Internet section. This workaround feels a lot like the workaround Microsoft used to get its game streaming service onto devices like Apple’s iPhones and iPads. Keep in mind that you will also need to have a valid and active subscription to Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass Ultimate to stream Xbox games.

Thankfully though, Microsoft has provided gamers with the instructions on how to go about doing it, so if you have some time to spare and would like more options when it comes to gaming on the device, then do check it out. We worked closely with our friends at Valve to support #Xcloud #XboxGamePass through Microsoft Edge for the Steam Deck. This will be achieved through its Edge browser, but the catch is that you’ll need to download the Linux version of the Edge browser and install it on the console.

In a post on Reddit, Microsoft has actually announced that they will be supporting streaming on the Steam Deck. However, there is a catch and that is you’ll need to create a workaround.

We suppose that would have been pretty obvious, but what if you wanted to stream using a different service? The good news is that it looks like you’ll be able to stream Xbox games through the console as well. Valve’s new Steam Deck handheld console supports streaming via Steam Link.
