If you have been playing the game through your Game Pass, though, and not through the version you bought on Steam, then you will lose all your progress, because the two versions are incompatible.

But, you are out of luck, because developers have spent many years making sure things like that don't happen. If you enjoy the game, pay for it. If something is wrong with your purchased version of the game, contact the proper service's customer support.
