If he has game pass arguably he has plenty to play that doesn't require dipping into Steam. I mean Silksong was just released after all...
JRPG wise Clair Obscur is still on game pass iirc, so the steam only now that's also on currently on discount would be Persona 5 Royal or Metaphor Re Fantazio.
The only reason I can think to play on Steam would be for Valve exclusives like Half Life series, Dota2 or CS:GO.
Turtles eat jellyfish. And so do the Chinese. That immorality be tasty.
