ValveResourceFormat VS UWPHook

Get https://vrf.steamdb.info/

Use this: https://github.com/SteamDatabase/ValveResourceFormat

Your research will be able to find a published report of a similar story in \materials\effects\coconut\ in the tf2_textures VPK structure (if you do not have either already, use a tool like GCFScape or Valve Resource Viewer to get into it).

You can also extract the textures using VRF https://vrf.steamdb.info/ to decompile the valve pak files and then use crowbar https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Crowbar to extract the textures from the relevant vtexc files. You could probably get the models this way too, but I haven't tried it yet. You'll also need the Blender Source Tools https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Blender_Source_Tools if you're aiming to open them in blender.

Well, it's a wee bit taboo but if you use software like the source 2 resource viewer (it works on source 1 also, I checked) then you can view and export the hidden files of the game. Then you can use software like crowbar to convert models, textures, and animations from their original .mdl, .vtf, .dmx, and .smd files into more general use and palatable .obj, .tga, and .qc files. And then use the blender source toolsto export them back into source to after modifying.

If you do not have either already, use a tool like GCFScape or Valve Resource Viewer to get into the VPK file structure.

Thanks to VRF (Source 2 Resource Viewer) (also, thanks /u/xpaw - give him a follow!) we can browser Panorama UI source code (and of course other Source 2 files) in the all-new Counter-Strike 2 Limited Test.

TF2's copy is located in \steamapps\common\Team Fortress 2\hl2\hl2_misc_dir.vpk. Use a tool like GCFScape or Valve Resource Viewer to get into the VPK file structure. Once you're in there, it's \models\extras\info_speech.mdl.

use https://vrf.steamdb.info/ and open "dota 2 beta\game\dota\pak01_dir.vpk"

Check Youtube Guides or so how to use https://vrf.steamdb.info/

Edit: here's UWPHook to link gamepass games to steam https://github.com/BrianLima/UWPHook

Use UWP HOOK to allow you to add windows store uwp games to steam as a non steam game.

I used this https://github.com/BrianLima/UWPHook

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.

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.

Microsoft : This is worst with all from above and you need https://github.com/BrianLima/UWPHook to be able to play against Microsoft DRM.

Another option that could potentially work is to use UWPHook to add your Xbox Game-Pass games to Steam and then simply use Steam Link to stream these games.

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.
