Most Xbox Game Studios Titles Will Run On The Steam Deck, But Microsoft Says gears 5, Halo: The Master Chief Collection, infinity haloand Microsoft Flight Simulator X They are not compatible. These titles do not work on the Steam Deck due to anti-cheat systems, and it is unclear if they will ever be supported in the future.
