[QUOTE="Admin, post: 55088, member: 1"] While Valve president Gabe Newell has shared that he doesn't think the company needs its own version of Xbox Game Pass right now, he said that he'd be "more than happy to work with [Microsoft] to get that on Steam." Speaking to [URL='https://www.pcgamer.com/uk/valve-has-no-plans-for-a-steam-pass-but-would-help-microsoft-put-game-pass-on-steam/']PC Gamer,[/URL] Newell discussed that despite him understanding the popularity of such services like Xbox Game Pass, he just doesn't see Valve committing resources to do a similar version any time soon.
