Is steam the same as xbox game pass?

The software maker started distributing more of its Xbox Game Studios titles through Steam in 2019, but PC Game Pass remains exclusive to the Microsoft Store and Windows 10 or Windows 11 PCs. That means if you purchase a new Steam Deck, you can't access PC Game Pass on the Linux OS that's preinstalled.

Is xbox game pass pc the same as steam?
No. Steam licensing is completely separate from the Xbox Store. However, for some titles, purchasing for the Xbox One or for Windows 10 on a PC gives you the license to play the game on the other platform, at least for the downloaded (digital) version of the game.

Can i play my xbox game pass games on steam?
To clarify: you can't actually install any Game Pass games on the Steam Deck, but you can install a browser that runs Cloud Gaming — which will allow you to stream most games from the Game Pass library.

How long do games typically stay on there for? They usual stay around for about a year/18 months but some stay longer. The GTA games often have quite short stays, about 3 months.
