I’m sure Game Pass does a hit on Steam’s numbers, but no way does it hit that hard. Plenty of games are on Game Pass with high player counts on Steam. Take Back 4 Blood, not a well received game that’s also on Game Pass and currently has 982 players on Steam.
Planet of Lana—a indie game I honestly have never heard of—came out on Game Pass and Steam last month - 66 players.
To be fair, Steam stats for day one Game Pass release aren’t really reliable
