Some of these games, like Starfield, cost an absolute fortune ($120 AUD where I live on Steam). I’m simply not going to pay that much for a game but will happily pick up something like Sea of Stars for less than half the price.
To think it’s also on PS Plus (and I think Game Pass?). Well-deserved though, it’s a great game so far! Big Chrono Trigger vibes, which I just finished a few months ago so it’s cool to have some more old school JRPG stuff to play.
Although I’m super tempted to get it on Switch despite having 2 hours on PS5. It’s the perfect game to play in bed
I thought this would be viable through Game Pass Cloud streaming. Bummer if it isn’t since Moonlight can’t find games installed on Game Pass on my pc. Might have to settle for a payment though Steam as well, then :)
You can just play it with Game Pass Cloud streaming. There are no issues with this game specifically.
Generally though, as far as I know, you can’t add games installed locally by Game Pass as a non Steam Game. They aren’t installed in the traditional sense. No .exe, for example.
There doesn’t seem to be any copy protection for the Game Pass version. I just copied the game install folder from my PC to my Steam Deck, then added the .exe as a non steam game with Proton 8 and it works fine on my deck.
If you like old school, but new, games I have to recommend Octopath Traveller 2. I started it 3 days ago and already have 30 hours with no signs of slowing down.
Average playtime without side quests I’ve seen about 60 hours. I’m at 40, there’s 8 characters, and I’ve only been focusing on 4 of them. My playtime may be off, though, because there were a few times I left it paused for a few hours.

Welp, sucks for that immortals game
'Cause it’s a sea
'Cause it’s a sea
Full of stars
That’s great news. It’s next on my list of games once I’m done with Armored Core.

10% more based on exchange rate — see comparisons here: https://steamdb.info/app/1716740/
I had to pay 120 space ham sandwiches for my copy
That’s not how exchange rates work.

How about whatever PS5 remote play on your phone?
remote play on a phone while using a gamepad is a viable option if you don’t want to buy it on Switch.
It is on gamepass. I started playing last night. So far, it’s a win.
Welp, looks like I know what I’m doing while waiting for Starfield.
Same, basically.
Same. It’s no Chained Echoes, but I’m still early, so maybe it takes off after a bit. I’m enjoying it a lot either way.
I just finished Chained Echoes, really surprised at the quality. I’m hoping Stars at the very least equals it.
I can play it for free through both GamePass and PS+ and yet I still bought it on Steam.
Suffice it to say the Steam Deck has changed how I consume certain games.

But you could still use your phone to remote play to your PC or XBox isn’t it?
You could even add a non Steam game to make it usable with Steam Link.

Thank you for clarification. I thought that they can work together.
I feel you. I do have a Retroid Pocket though, I might try PS remote play first
Works great on my Steam Deck through Game Pass.
Did you have to install windows? I had tried that but the performance was really bad and the fans would constantly be going nuts 😕
You can use a web browser in the default os desktop mode. There are guides for it, even to start it from the deck interface I believe.

Nice! How long is that game? Been hearing a lot of great things about it so I’ll have to give it a spin sometime.
