can you get steam games free from xbox?

[Captainlewhill]

if i have my steam and Xbox linked can i get the games free from my Xbox account

[Emilio]

No

[Kargor]

No. Getting games for free on one platform if you already have them on another is mostly a promotion thing, to get people to use that platform. Steam (as the platform being promoted) and the publishers (who have to provide the licenses) have no real reason to promote Steam; it's doing pretty well on its own...

No

Xbox and steam different things.

[crunchyfrog]

It's like this - Steam and Xbox are different platforms much the same as Playstation and Xbox are.

You can't buy a game on one and use it on another. Sure there are some online games which may have account sharing but they are few and far between.

Just because they both are used on the PC doesn't change anything.

Xbox and Microsoft Store are cross-platform, not Steam.

[Chika Ogiue]

To build on the above reply, if the game is "Xbox Play Anywhere", you'll automatically have a PC copy via the Windows store when you buy a (digital) Xbox version.

Those are not platforms? Those are versions of PC's.

Not really. The XBox uses a version of Windows for consoles, not PC's.

I am not going to continue since you really do not understand the term platform in this situation.
