Can I play game pass games oin steam?

[Dukem]

Hi there,
in my Microsoft x - box app in Windwos I can connect the MS Account to my steam account. Is there any way I can play the games included in the game pass on my steam account?
I'm not talking about adding single external games to my steam library since this way they're not really connected. What I am thinking of is like in a way EA play works in Steam.
Thanks!

No, xbox game pass is not available on Steam

[Mad Scientist]

No.
Steam licenses are tied to Steam itself, thus your Steam Client. The way Steam is setup is to launch, and allow use of, things launched through it if you have a license to it.

Alright, thanks guys.

Edit and an Overwrite:

My goodness, it seems I have accidentally hurted people's feelings and gained mistrust instantaniously for having a wrong image. As such, I must apologize for these people, and possibly the victims who expect me to know it all and believed what I said was true.
However, what I thought about gamepass was wrong.

correctively: Apparently getting games steamed to you is optional and in some expensive package. (which is unlike playstation now and geforce now, etc.)

Eww... game pass.
-> you may want to look in Steam Discussions. There is a topic on going about game pass.

game pass is just Remote Play basically. You're remote controlling a virtual computer space elsewhere. As such, you maybe able to log into steam from gamepass.

The point is, its kinda like watching a video on youtube, except you control the game of the game its showing, or at least that is what you think. They control everything, microsoft, and you have nothing, except your netflix account (microsoft's version).

Edit: If you want to know my opinion, and why:
Don't use gamepass, don't pay for gamepass, make 'videogaming as a service'/'cloudgaming' nonsense fail. Don't pay this fake rent nonsense.
The problem is that games will not always be available. You can think 'oh hey I have this and this', but that is a lie, an illusion. They have it, and as such, they can remove it a month later and you can't play it at all anymore. And it can be because the game publisher doesn't pay microsoft enough to keep it on gamepass or some weird reason like that. So both the publisher and consumer need to pay monthly for the game. Broken system of greed.
On steam you buy something, you can play it years later.
The biggest difference between cloudgaming and rent is that rentals will still have the game for you years later, because they don't require monthly fees.

Erm, no that is quite wrong.

Game Pass has recently added the functinon for some games to be cloud play, but that's the exception.

Game Pass is just like a Metflix sub for games. You pay the monthly sub, you DOWNLOAD the game and play it.

Please don't spread misinformation.

Wrong. That's if you choose to use the remote play side of game pass. Game pass still has a library of games for download and installation.

GamePass for PC doesn’t even come with Xcloud. You need GamePass Ultimate for that.

Do you expect someone who doesn't interact with xbox nonsense to know everything concerning details, other than what microsoft purposely advertised what it is and isn't?
It was set up in the cloud gaming boom too.

Point is, I am ignorant concerning xbox gamepass yes. Glad it was noticed at least, but I am not intending to spread misinformation. What I am intending is to try and protect people's privilages on the long run where possible. I don't trust where it is going, basically.

So- now what?
What do you want me to do? Remove my post?

I get you get high on stating someone is wrong, instead of misunderstanding
or in someone else's case immediately claim the reason for my activity without evidence and need to use caps because they think someone might actually feel it better.

I guess I'll remove it. People will keep commenting stuff others already have, because they can otherwise.
Thanks for clearing up my misunderstanding at least, but-
surprisingly it seems my opinion remained valid otherwise that would also have been critized. So I wonder what the point is, if you can download it then, if its still being controlled at any time by microsoft as to when it goes away. (you can't keep it). Its not a real rental service. Its a serviced one.
Yes, downloading means less latency issues if you have good hardware, which is good online. For offline games it shouldn't matter unless you need fast reactions. That's not the point though, the point I mean is 'what does it matter concerning ownership'. How much of a say do you have over the games? Is their democratic input somewhere where you can say "hey I like to play this in 5 months" and are garanteed you can?
meh- I still wouldn't pay for it.

If you're gonna sperg about something as if it's fact then maybe you should know the facts before hand?

You don't own any digital product, you own a license to use said product. Look at every single EULA of every game you've purchased. It's nothing more than a license to use. The same goes for physical copies. Read the EULA. You own the plastic the disc is made of and nothing more.

[SilverHawk]

You can use PlayNite, it's compatible with Microsoft Store/XBOX App games. Steam is pretty trashy in regards to being a game frontend. As in, Steam doesn't have the majority of features a good frontend has, like scraping(catching info), compatibility with multiple stores(Playnite is compatible with about 20 stores + 100+ game content providers), images, full game data, alternate executions, etc.

Fair enough then. Just dont' make the mistake of taking it personally.

That was not the case in my response to you, and I doubt it's the case for anyone else here as they're mostly reulars who are senior in years.

Yes, how it works is not unlike renting movies online.
You download the game (or film) and it has a time sensitive bit of DRM code attached). So you can use it as if you own it for as long as the game is either up on Game Pass, or you stop subscription.

PSNow does pretty similarly too.

But that is ABSOLTEULY a renatal service, because it's no different to renting movies online like from Amazon, for example.

Concerning ownership it's rather simple.

Of course osme of this depends where in the world you are, but here in Europe digital game LICENCES (like what are sold here on Steam) give you the right to play the game as you see fit for as long as you like. The licence cannot be sold or transferred to another account though.

But with a physical copy of a game it's much the same PLUS you get the right to resell it as you see fit too.

Until 2015 there used to be the extra difference that with digital distribution you couldn't insist on refund from the reatiler if there were faults. That has since changed so it's exactly the same as physical goods.

Again here in Britain that means goods must be "satisfactory, as described, free from defect and last a reasonable time". If they don't you are somewhat bound to try and do your best to remedy it yourself and if that fails then you can INSIST on refund.

Hope that clears things up.
