This will be some good news for all you Xbox Cloud gamers playing those Gamepass games on Deck! According to a post on reddit by user CohenJordan, a verified Xbox employee, there was a set of performance improvements that were pushed out for Xbox Cloud Gaming specifically for gamers playing in a browser on a Linux or ChromeOS device, which includes the Steam Deck!

Hi everyone! We've just released a set of performance improvements on Xbox Cloud Gaming for gamers playing via browser on Linux and ChromeOS devices. You can expect a higher resolution and smoother streaming experience. 

These changes also complete a long journey of upgrading our browser gaming experience to a different streaming technology. You should now have a more consistent experience in the browser, no matter what device you use.

Safe to say this should drastically improve the user experience on the Deck. Seeing as how it is being updated, I am thinking a new Xbox Cloud guide should be on its way!
