Non streamed? You mean just running the game on the device? You could run games on steamos since it first released in 2013.

He means from Gamepass. On many non-microsoft platforms, the only way to play Gamepass games is streaming via xcloud

On Windows, Gamepass games can be installed locally from the GP app, but last I checked the GP app was still Windows-only

Sorry, I was referring to game pass games. They're exclusive to windows because they're built as windows apps or something.
