Yes. Kinda. Some games from the X1 era aren’t available on PC, like Halo 5. X360 games that are backwards compatible but weren’t actually released for PC, like Red Dead Redemption, won’t be available either.
Doesn’t it fully support GamePass? Doesn’t GamePass have all the XBox games?

Problem isn’t that, since the handheld is just running windows it can only run games with a PC release. If the game was never ported to PC they currently have no way to play it. They really thought through the whole release real well.

Wonder if this will force the issue on a PC release of GTA VI sooner rather than later.
Or maybe Rockstar won’t care.

Honestly I’m surprised they’re still thinking about that. The last major release they had was RDR2 in 2018. That was 7 years ago now. In that time not only have handhelds and more PC devices exploded but also PCs as a whole thanks to COVID. It’s just more popular than it ever was. If they go forward with console only they better have a massive kickback from Sony now that Xbox isn’t playing as much, otherwise they’re missing out on tons of sales.
