To anyone wondering why it isn't wondering anymore, paste the launch command after like this "@@" ---window-size. Since a recent update, valve seems to be using double quotes for file directories (it could be a change that originated in arch main line) With this change, it should work flawless. Maybe Alex will see this and update it.
Thanks, I had the same issue could not get it to work on my end despite checking and searching many guides. I've seen many others face the same issues and thought it was due to having the oled model. But clearly not. Appreciate your comment helped getting it going for me
I’ve been on the desktop mode for steam deck a good handful of times but you’re the first one to make things so simple and easy handle-THANK YOU! Extra thanks for the quick way to add a non steam game-always great to save steps!
The Steam deck is probably my favorite piece of tech in the past decade with that being said I appreciate all the tutorials Alex you're doing gods work
Dude, my PS5 has been collecting dust since I play the SD so much. I got a wife a daughter who like their shows in the living room, where my PS5 is FYI.
I just wanted to say I love your videos. I just got a Steam Deck and your videos have been so helpful. I was having trouble setting this up and noticed that my launch option wording had quotations. If anyone else is having trouble carefully delete all the quotations and follow this video step by step and it will work. There must have been some sort of update to Microsoft Edge. I wanted to put this information out there for anyone who might be having the same issue.
It's only a matter of time until Valve and Microsoft partner up for a native Game Pass application on the Steam Deck. I would be quite shocked if it didn't happen in the next couple of years or so. But for now I will definitely try this workaround.
@@qu1253 Microsoft wants to stay out of regulatory trouble so putting game pass on the steam deck make sense. Plus they still want to grow gamepass subscribers.
Just finished going through this setup and it worked. One tip that I didn't see anywhere that really helped is that Steam has a Note feature. So you can copy the command strings above if you're following along on PC and it will sync over to Steam (i did have to reboot to see it). Then you can copy/paste within steam deck.
Nice. This is the same method I used to setup Stadia on my Deck. I’ve been curious about Gamepass, so I’d just have to edit the URL in the properties (and change the icon/art so it’s no longer for Stadia lol). As others mentioned, you can run Windows 10 off a MicroSD (I use for a couple of games) if you want to install the games locally. But honestly it can sometimes feel like a hassle to reboot into Windows.
This is a big question for me the steam deck at this point is invaluable at this point. Everyone should have one. Love to see you cover the deck extensively Alex 💪
Now I just gotta kick my kid off Minecraft. I mainly picked up the Steam a deck because my wife is takes up our gaming laptop with the Sims4, and my son plays Minecraft on my Series S so I needed something to game on. Unless I get GamePass family bundle, we can’t run gamepass at the same time😕
@@cityoftrees9953 I don’t consider myself tech savvy enough to go poking inside of these things. The 256 is the perfect size for the few AAA titles I play at any given time. And the high end .5TB SD card holds all my AA and indie titles. I may consider changing the 256 later down the line
I’ve watched a lot of XCloud tutorials for the Steam Deck and yours is the most concise and simple one I’ve seen yet. You’ve earned a new subscriber! Looking forward to trying this out on my Deck…thanks.
Very much appreciate the tutorial good sir. I had glimpsed a few others and they all seemed to know what they were doing but their explanations seemed to exclude a few things and they posted the commands in a different order than you did and your explanation was the ONLY one that worked for me. Thanks again.
Just got my steam deck and watched your video so I could have my game pass on my deck and man your video out of all the videos I watched was the easiest to understand and I was set up in 20 minutes Thankyou. If you ever do any videos about vibrant deck please let me know I’m still trying to figure that one out.
I just dual boot with windows on an SD card. I play gamepass games locally on my steamdeck, but this pretty cool for those who don't want to do that. Plus I don't have many games on steam.
I can't thank you enough, I tried the methods other people posted for hours with no success. 10 mins with your tutorial and I'm up and running. Again thank-you
Not much to add other than you are awesome to simply give directions without having us have to go through hearing nerdy jokes or unnecessary background on your life or what you had for lunch that nobody is really interested in. You have a new subscriber
I had to retype both the url that’s already on the Microsoft edge before the scripts AND the script because my keyboard & steam deck was acting stupid! Kept freezing up! But I finally made it work after an hour + thanks goat!
Signing in at the end was the only part that gave me trouble because pressing Steam and X to type kept trying to take me to the dashboard, but I eventually figured it out. Good video.
@@specrtre I signed in on the edge browser first and then closed it. When i opened gamepass next i was already signed in. L5 + R5 get out of the window for me.
Thank you for this, using your guide Xbox Game Pass via this method works really well. Very impressed so far. Hopefully Steam and Xbox partner to allow native support for Xbox game pass in the future.
YOUR MY FU**KING HERO. i been trying to get gamepass going for 2 days and all the videos and what I was reading never told me to put a FU*King SPACE after @. Cause of this video i'm playing the show 22 on the steam deck.
Man this helped big time. Just got my Steam deck 2 days ago and been trying to figure out how to play gamepass. I see I was halfway there, I just needed the scripts to paste. Thanks a million broadie 💪🏿💪🏿
Much better to run Windows 10 to download Gamepass games natively IMO ( If you have the storage ) set my nephew up with it last week & grabbed the original serial key from the version of windows on the computer I used to install on the steam deck & so he's got a fully activated version since Microsoft lets you re-use serial keys & everything runs perfect, & the whole mobile computer thing is great also 👍 🔥 💯
That’s pretty sweet. SteamDeck just keeps impressing me. Have you tried clarity boost in a game? It’s compatible through the Edge Browser so I’m assuming it will work through the SteamDeck Edge Browser. Awesome video himbo 👍
I'm weighing between getting a VR headset vs the steam deck, I only go to work and then home so I don't have much of a need for handheld gaming. And I have a fantastic PC. Regardless, I always enjoy the tutorials
Also I feel like streaming it through the steam deck will still be infinitely better then streaming to a phone considering it has actually sticks and buttons
Thank you @OhNoltsAlexx! You nailed this tutorial. I got it going first try. Was struggling with some websites giving instructions but your video gave me everything I needed 👍🏻👊🏻

Thanks for the tip.

Considering that the promise of COD will stay on steam from Phil didn’t require a contract tells me they got a great relationship.
Pretty sure even Gabe said that he wouldn't mind if gamepass was on the steam deck, so even he would like that idea
I doubt that will happen because it would open Game Pass up to everyone on Linux, unless they made a Game Pass app that was Steam Deck exclusive.
@@qu1253 Microsoft wants to stay out of regulatory trouble so putting game pass on the steam deck make sense. Plus they still want to grow gamepass subscribers.
@@MunuM77 Yes, but they also want to protect Windows' dominance. The last thing they want is to make Linux a viable alternative to Windows for gaming.
*Thank you for making it so simple with adding the link/code in the description. Did it within the first try while watching the video!*
Big LIKE...!! I've been trying for awhile to get this to work, but you finally brought it to past. Much appreciated...!!!
Haven't tried it yet but you simplified it enough to where I feel comfortable trying it. Thanks 👌🏾
You’re welcome 😊
thank you so much for being the ONE tutorial i found with code in the description
The right click to steam might be the greatest quality of life tip I've received about the deck. Bless you
Lmao...I have another video for 10 actual tips for the steam deck...yknow...ACTUAL tips
@@OhNoItsAlexx That was one of those things that was just so simple to have tried but just really didn't expect to be there that I never attempted it

howdo i make a note
Phil needs to work with Gabe, and put Gamepass on Steam. Because the Xbox App is TRASH!
Xbox App doesn’t even have clarity boost
The fact they still have two up and running and the old one is still better then the new one says a lot too. Considering they both suck
Load of crap i cancaled on my gamepass
I fkin hate windows launcher, wish we could have all on steam
Just followed this step by step! Absolutely brilliant.. thank you Alex 😊 hoping MS adds native game pass very soon… now to add GeForce now

Works great! Only issue I’m having is getting it to recognize my controller even with changing the controller setting to game pad with mouse track 😭
Same here. I added the command correctly but still nothing.
Me too

What changes did you make? Mine isn't working when I click play, nothing happens.
