Several titles include "Fallout 4," "Forza Horizon 5," "Sea of Thieves," "State of Decay: YOSE," "The Evil Within," and more titles to come in the future releases. 

The company said that it is working with Microsoft in this integration, and it would further expand the titles soon, all available for Steam Deck users that will avail of the offer. The feature will offer the fully immersive experience of the titles available in the XGS, focusing on solo adventures, multiplayer combats, and other recommendations of the titles.

However, if these titles are not enough for you, users can also opt for the Steam Deck Windows feature to allow the operating system to run on the hybrid console for their needs. The integration would give users a chance to access the Windows OS via the console and would help them focus on the different games available here, even accessing the Xbox Game Pass. 

Steam Deck and the Xbox Games

Valve's Steam Deck is one of the most famous consoles now, and it brings a massive gaming performance right at a person's hands that will allow them to get it anywhere. The company released the console last February 25, and it brought gamers a first look at Valve's take on a hybrid console that rivals that of the Nintendo Switch. 

The Microsoft gaming department, Xbox, also focuses on many features for gamers in the current industry, and it offers more apart from games coming to its console. One of its many features is the Xbox Cloud Gaming that will soon bring integration of peripherals, with the mouse and keyboard combo that completes the experience. 

Microsoft and Valve working together to bring various titles to the Steam Deck is massive, and it also opens up an opportunity to use the device with the Windows OS for broader compatibility. In theory, gamers can both have the Xbox Game Studios titles with the Xbox Game Pass titles when using the Steam Deck, and it would depend on the OS used by the new console.
