The head of Valve Gabe Newell (Gabe Newell) said that the company has no plans to create a competitor for Game Pass.

I don't think that's what we think we need to do on our own when building a subscription service at this time. But for their customers this is clearly a popular option and we would be more than happy to work with them to get this on Steam.

That is, despite the release of Steam Deck, Valve, unlike Sony, does not plan to launch its own subscription service, but is ready to add Game Pass to Steam. Whether Microsoft wants to do this is anyone's guess.

At the same time, there is already a precedent, since the EA Play subscription on Steam has been present since 2020.
