Thanks for that clarification. I think it is still not possible to run Xbox GamePass, correct?
You can load windows on the steamdeck, nothing is stopping you. I actually have a Bootable microsd with windows to play gamepass games. That being said, the drivers for windows are a bit messy and setting it up is kinda a pain.
I mean if someone really wants to use XGS or EGS or games with anti cheats, ROG Ally ain't so bad, but SD OLED is definitely the champion overall as it stands. Maybe if Windows is optimised for handled usage things may change, though I doubt anybody can slam laptop chips and expect SD OLED levels of battery life and efficiency.
You can stream Xbox Cloud games in Edge on the Steamdeck. Works about as well as it does anywhere else.
I actually can't, it isn't in my country. In fact even Steam Deck isn't sold here, have to import it. But Rog ally is available, with discounts and warranty.
@lustyargonian @wrekone your name suggests it’s Armenia?
Jokes aside, Xbox Cloud isn’t available in my country either, but there are workarounds built into Greenlight. Latency is not that bad here in Turkiye.
Lust and scales can be found anywhere! Good to know it ain't so bad there, I tried some VPNs but it only amplifies the faults of cloud streaming. Maybe it'll be better in some years.
