The extension was last updated on November 22, just a few months before the release of Persona 3 Portable and Persona 4 Golden on both Steam and Xbox Game Pass. These two titles as well as Persona 5 Royal are just a few examples of which AAA games are available on both Valve’s and Microsoft’s PC services. With titles being shuffled around periodically, it can be difficult to keep track of which games are available on which service. That is where browser extensions can come in and check both databases to see what is available.

The Google Chrome extension named “Available on Game Pass” was created by a user named lucasromerodb, who hails from Argentina. According to the overview on the Chrome Web Store, the extension was designed to let users know if a Steam game is available on Game Pass and display which platforms are available as well. The extension adds a green Game Pass banner above the Add to Cart button on the interface. It also includes which games are available via EA Play, as well as which games are coming to Game Pass and which ones are leaving the service. The extension works on the game’s Steam page within Google Chrome, but it does not work on the Steam desktop app. The extension was designed for Chromium-based browsers, with a Firefox version in the works, according to lucasromerodb.

Though other PC apps like GOG have the functionality to show collections from Epic Games Store as well as Steam and Game Pass, it is limited in that it shows what games are already in a user’s library across multiple platforms. The “Available on Game Pass” extension does not require the user to be logged into either service to see what is available for themselves, which also allows users to check for deals no matter where they are.

Though no Game Pass app is on the Steam Deck at the time of writing, extensions such as “Available on Game Pass” allows users to fill in the gaps in the meantime. Whether Valve and Microsoft work out a deal for Game Pass on the go or not remains to be seen.
