I'm a bit of PC gaming noob, I have a steam account and own 1 game via their library. I am also a console player and stacked up 3 years of Gamepass a while back when it was cheap to do so, I have recently been gaming on my PC via the Xbox app within Windows which I linked to my MS Xbox account so I could use Gamepass. All good so far however at the weekend I tried to play The Hunt with a mate and even though we are connected on Steam and he invites me to his lobby Steam thinks I don't own the game even though I can launch it via the Xbox app and via a direct desktop shortcut to the game. Am I trapped in Microsoft’s walled garden? Is there a work around other then me purchasing the game through Steam (which I am not going to do)?

The hunt showdown does have crossplay from what I can see. But they don't allow you to invite across different platforms.

Dev post on reddit 2 months ago suggests they're working on improving it.
Yeah I have since seen that. I didn't realise these differing platforms restricted it the way they do. Seems there is no other option!
