Microsoft today announced that the Steam Deck Xbox games list has been extended to include 11 popular Xbox-published titles now verified or playable on Valve's systems. The list doesn't contain the hoped-for Steam Deck Halo Infinite compatibility however, it does include Fable, Gears Tactics, Minecraft Dungeons, and all of the Halo games that aren't FPS.
360 degrees all the way around
As PCGamesN reported yesterday, there are now more than 2,000 Steam Deck Playable or Verified games, however there are still approximately 1,000 games that are not supported. Unfortunately some of the unsupported games include such major Xbox games as Halo Infinite and Gears 5, mostly thanks to issues with Easy Anti-Cheat.
Xbox Games Pass Ultimate subscribers can stream Xbox games on Steam Deck. However, Steam Deck users who wish to download the games are usually out of luck. It's a good thing, as Xbox Games Studios today reveals another batch of Steam Deck compatible games - that unfortunately doesn't include the most recent Halo or Gears games, however it does include Halo Wars, Gears Tactics, Minecraft Dungeons, and the sole major Fable game for PC.
