Since people are “celebrating” the release of the Nintendo Switch 2, I also remembered that you can use a SteamDeck to set up Xbox Cloud Gaming Xbox Remote Play*, so you can play the games from your Xbox on the go. The process involves installing the Edge browser, adding it to Steam, and running a specific command in the terminal and customizing the Steam shortcut.

Just in case the video ever gets down, the terminal command that you need to run is:

1

flatpak --user override --filesystem=/run/udev:ro com.microsoft.Edge

and the thing you need to append to the launch options of the shortcut is

1

--window-size=1024,640 --force-device-scale-factor=1.25 --device-scale-factor=1.25  --kiosk "https://www.xbox.com/play"

FYI, while playing from at home I had no issue while playing a game (which I will review soon) and Forza Horizon 3, 4 and 5, and as long as the game is not extremely fast paced, the latency is decent to very good, depending on the title.

*PS: While Steam Cloud Gaming is only available in a very small list of countries, you can use Xbox Remote Play everywhere, which is what I wanted actually in the first place.
