    I mean there’s a time and a place.

    What if someone has gamepass or a ton of free games on EGS?

        Unsure about EGS, but Gamepass can only stream via xcloud on non-microsoft platforms

        The GP app/store for installing games locally is only available on Windows

          You can play non streamed games on steamos now?

          Non streamed? You mean just running the game on the device? You could run games on steamos since it first released in 2013.

            He means from Gamepass. On many non-microsoft platforms, the only way to play Gamepass games is streaming via xcloud

            On Windows, Gamepass games can be installed locally from the GP app, but last I checked the GP app was still Windows-only

            Sorry, I was referring to game pass games. They’re exclusive to windows because they’re built as windows apps or something.
