This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.
2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil
No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.
We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.
3. No excessive self-promotion
Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.
This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.
4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts
This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.
We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.
5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW
Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.
No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

It's also on Gamepass. You can play it instantly for a much lower cost to make sure it works. Then buy it if you still want later when it goes on sale.
Doesn't work on linux
Duh, the reason there's Game Pass on PC is for people to stay on Windows. Microsoft saw the writing on the wall when Valve released SteamOS and scrambled for a way to keep people on Windows.
And it's working for me (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻
Send help.
No, MS wanted to compete with PlayStation Plus. Linux constitutes about 2% of users on steam. MS doesn't care about Linux gaming and steam OS is no where choose to being a threat to them.
We need a LSW to run the Windows store on Linux as a pacakge manager
It does work on steam deck actually edit: you can downvote me but I'm not wrong, it works great through a browser
I was talking about game pass.
Me too. Game Pass works on steam deck.
Do you have a link?
As far as I can see it's only streaming Xbox Cloud, so no they probably can't supply one
It's a browser solution.

Just google it you lazy sod
Self inflicted problem.
Give it some time. Valve is going to work overtime to get it Steam Deck compatible.
Linux isn’t officially supported anyway. That’s like saying it doesn’t work on PlatStation…
They've applied for steamdeck verification
Not through gamepass.
I love my Steamdeck, it’s great. But ultimately, most games aren’t originally designed to be played on there…
