Anyone know how to add an Xbox PC Game pass game to steam?
It's usually difficult because Microsoft UWP DRM on them so you needing tools like UWPHook & other workarounds that have 50% success rate at most. There are rare Gamepass games that don't have UWP so it won't be a problem for them.

"Add non-steam games" with Xbox Game Pass games VR ?
You could try using https://github.com/BrianLima/UWPHook this program and testing it. I really doubt it'll work, the VR tag is just a categorisation thing and so it shows up on the HMD page. It doesn't actually trigger any VR capabilities.

Thoughts on the Steam Deck UI beta for Big Picture mode so far?
There's a nifty little utility called UWP Hook (https://github.com/BrianLima/UWPHook) that scans your Windows Apps and lets you pick them from a drop-down to add to Steam, but there have been a rare couple games that absolutely refuse to show up on the list so i made a bit of a convoluted extra step to gain access privileges to the gamepass install folder and add them from there when needed.
- The newest beta update seems to have fixed non steam games with the new big picture!

Booted Windows 10 pro to a 1tb SD card, only took 30g of space and left 970g. Installed GlosC for the controls and runs flawless. If I can do it anyone can do it! Here's Forza 5 on Xbox Cloud testing the controls. Runs smoothly no hiccups or long load times! Aloha 🤙🏽🎮

COD: MW2019 Running beautifully on my new Steam Deck. To accomplish this I installed windows 10 using rufus onto my external ssd, booted into it, and used the GloSC workaround to get the controller to be detected in game. Would totally recommend trying it out.
Sorry for the super late response guys. Haven’t been on reddit for a few days. Here you go: Thracky’s GloSC fork

I cant access the auction house on fh5 because of privacy settings. Im on pc and idk how to change them. Also want ps4 controller support but it doesnt work.
If you're playing the gamepass/uwp version of the game, You can get the controller to work by either adding the game to your steam library using https://github.com/Thracky/GloSC/releases/tag/2.0.8 or possibly using DS4Windows from https://github.com/Ryochan7/DS4Windows/releases
