Unsure about EGS, but Gamepass can only stream via xcloud on non-microsoft platforms

The GP app/store for installing games locally is only available on Windows

EGS you definitely can with Heroic Launcher. I got Death Stranding for free on Epic and played it on Steam Deck using that.

Non streamed? You mean just running the game on the device? You could run games on steamos since it first released in 2013.

He means from Gamepass. On many non-microsoft platforms, the only way to play Gamepass games is streaming via xcloud

On Windows, Gamepass games can be installed locally from the GP app, but last I checked the GP app was still Windows-only

Sorry, I was referring to game pass games. They’re exclusive to windows because they’re built as windows apps or something.
