Play Xbox On Steam Deck EASILY!

100% Easiest way to remote play your Xbox & Game Pass games!
Streaming Game Pass and Remote Playing your Xbox console to your Steam Deck is possible, for free, but it is a bit of a faff. You need to make a browser force open to Game Pass via adding it to Steam, entering a few lines of code and adding custom artwork and remote playing your Xbox console itself requires setting up Greenlight too.
If you're lazy, like me, you can instead grab XBPlay from the Steam store, log in and that's it. You're done and ready to play with zero effort.
XBPlay on Steam:

Idk if you mentioned it or not, but to map the Xbox button to the steam deck you have to set one of the buttons to the N key. Then just hold it to get the shutdown Xbox menu to come up. It’s not mapped on it when you download the app. Otherwise you have to click the screen and hold down the button on there to get the option to shut down the xbox

[@128KB]

Pinned! Great info, I wasn't aware of this 🤣

[@sly2792004]

how do you map buttons?

[@c28.]

@@sly2792004 when you are in the xbplay game you hit the steam button then a menu pops up and you will click the right d-pad button. Then go to controller settings and then click edit layout. You will see a buttons menu and scroll down to the back grips section. I used L4 for my button to act as the Xbox button. You click add command and then hit the r1 button to get to the keyboard selection and you will click the N key. After that your L4 button will be programmed to work as the Xbox button. Just hold the L4 button to get the shutdown Xbox menu to pop up. Otherwise you can just use the touchscreen with the on screen controls. If you do it that way then the guide button in the bottom middle works the same as the Xbox button.

[@c28.]

@@sly2792004one annoying thing with this app is that once you shut down the Xbox it will have a message box that says you disconnected, but it doesn’t exit out of the app. You have to push the steam button again and then go to the exit game selection to close the app out completely.

Warning wifi 6ghz only has like a 6 foot radius. Most of the time I find myself going back to 5ghz since the range is so bad for 6ghz bandwidth.

[@Soundtracks92]

It’s less than a foot for me. Both of my Xbox Series X controllers constantly disconnect from the Steam Deck whenever I hook it up to my TV or monitor. In order for them to stay connected I almost have to press the controllers against the Deck, which makes it impossible to use it as a console

Unfortunately this doesn't work UNLESS you have a console (i.e., you can't just create a Game Pass Ultimate account & stream games to your Steam Deck through XBPlay without being set up on an XBOX console first). Fortunately Steam is good about refunds, but Microsoft gets to keep my $17 (even though they said I'd get to try it for $1).

One of the best Console ever

[@Greydawg]

Unfortunately the description on Steam is simply inaccurate. You need an Xbox console to use this program. You cannot just have a Game Pass subscription and stream games from the cloud. I know it's just $6 but it's an awful feeling to not be able to use the product & having paid for a subscription service just to test XBPlay enough to confirm a console is required.

[@128KB]

Not true, to remote play you need an Xbox console (the top option when opening XBPlay called "Remote Play"), to stream GamePass you don't need an Xbox console, you just need a GamePass subscription and select the second option called "Cloud Play". I demonstrate this in the video.

The last 2 in the green box failing just means you aren't paying for a game pass subscription, so cloud play will not work. Remote Play should work though. If it doesn't, make sure u are on the same wifi as your console or have enabled port forwarding for port 9002 UDP and TCP.

You do your login and you're done. and it's free. Sure you can spend more time tweaking the graphics so that it looks nice on your steam deck as far as adding a thumbnail or whatever but i mean...
