    I've been trying this for weeks. Multiple games I try to run either via Steam or the Xbox app do not work on the M1.

    Unfortunately, Steam support is not very responsive. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Thanks in advance!

    I've tried to play Age of Empires 2 on both Steam and the Xbox app. The Xbox app shows an error just when I try to install it.

    I've also tried other Steam games like Counter Strike. It just starts to load then seems to crash right after.

    Any updates regarding this? I also have the same issue. I can't run Soulcalibur VI and Dragon Ball FighterZ on Steam.

    I can only provide you a screenshot. I already requested refunds from Steam a few days ago so I can't reproduce it any more and provide a technical report.

    I am having problems with a couple of specific games, namely "The Outer Worlds" and "Control". Control is a demanding game, so that's no surprise. But the Outer Worlds is not a very taxing game. I've already filed a half dozen reports or so on both games, but unfortunately do not have report IDs available. I will do my best to gather more reports and IDs.

    Hi all,

    I have installed Windows 10 Pro Evaluation Copy however, the XBOX app just loads... then closes straight away. Any ideas?

    I managed to get Control to run.
    You need to go into Steam, and navigate to the local files. Then run the Control.exe app directly. It will prompt you to install 'necessary windows components' which is a specific .NET version and a VC++ redistributable. Once those were installed the game should load up (and runs quite well).
    You might find similar with other games that some of these components need installing, and when you launch from Steam it just quietly fails. Launching the exe file directly can help with that.
