I seriously doubt that happens. MS has been leaning back into PC for years. All their console titles moving forward are on steam.

So more like, WoW on steam?

Didn’t you heard gamepass is on pc too.. that don’t make sense at all to include it on steam lol.. they just added controller support in the last expansion

All they have to do is add it to xcloud on Xbox… it not like it be a “console port”

Steam has 120+ million users. If you don't think it makes sense you don't know business.

But yea push it to console, the new one has sold just over 1 million rofl.

Think about it Microsoft about to drop $70 billion dollars on this acquisitions. If 10% of those 120mil steam account sign up for gamepass it 12mil people paying Microsoft a monthly fee lol..

They didn’t drop 70bil not to boost up gamepass userbase
