Steam PC Game Pass: Valve To Partner With Microsoft—But, Some Partnership Issues Can Prevent It

Steam PC Game Pass is now rumored to arrive. This will be possible if Microsoft and Valve continue their alleged partnership.

As of the moment, Valve still hasn't shown any interest in allowing Microsoft's Xbox Game Pass service integration into its Steam gaming platform.

However, the title developer's CEO, Gabe Newell, said that if Microsoft allows its PC Game Pass to operate in Steam, then they will gladly accept the integration.

"I don't think it's something that we think we need to do ourselves, building a subscription service at this time," said Newell via Toms Guide's latest report.

Steam PC Game: What are the Issues?

Kotaku reported that Valve and Microsoft hadn't confirmed their actual plans to make PC Game Pass integration into Steam a reality.

But, the two giant gaming companies have already talked about this topic. Newell said that if the gaming consumers want Microsoft PC Game Pass on Steam, then the tech firm needs to do something about it.

However, there are still some issues surrounding the possible arrival of PC Game Pass on Valve's popular gaming platform. One of these is the revenue percentage that each company will receive.

If Microsoft's PC Game Pass ever arrives in Steam, critics said that Valve would only receive 30% of the generated revenues. However, is it still unknown the amount of revenue that Valve will receive if consumers purchase PC Game Pass direction from Microsoft and use the Steam platform to play the games.
