- Microsoft is allegedly sidelining his Xbox -Neat Handheld in favor of Windows 11 Handheld Games -PC optimization
- ‘Project Kennan’ Handheld collaboration with ASUS is still in progress
- It seems to be a direct response to Valve’s steam osUs after it became available for non-steam tires handheld
Valve has recently taken the limelight on handheld games PCs, providing Steamos support to non-steam deck-handheld-and as a result, Microsoft has apparently set aside one of its most expected devices to compete with the Linux-based operating system.
According to an exclusive from our friends at Windows Central, Microsoft allegedly cut off its Xbox native handhelds as it will now shift its focus to Windows 11’s optimization to third-party handheld games PCs and ‘Project Kennan’, a new Xbox theme handheld in collaboration with ASUS.
This comes shortly after the launch of a new Lenovo Legion Go S, an officially licensed Steamos-handed game-PC and it seems that the Revelations of the Steamos version is surpassing the Windows 11 model in Gaming may have pushed Microsoft to change its priorities.
Windows 11 has not yet shown a ‘hand -held’ state or something that focuses on portability to help streamline the handheld gaming experience. While software like Armory Crate (along with tools like the Xbox Game Bar) has helped handheld players with fast game access and other necessary TDP adjustment settings, it has had difficulty matching up to the Steamos experience for players.
It is not exactly clear whether the code-made handheld, Project Kennan, comes in the form of a long-awaited Asus Rog Ally sequel. However, it is clear that Valve’s success has lit a fire under Microsoft to take handheld games seriously – and rightly, as many will claim.
Analysis: Players, that’s exactly why
If there is anything Microsoft’s reported actions highlight it is that it pronounces your complaints and frustrations Do Actually work. I say this because I can almost guarantee that Microsoft without praise for Steamos and the recent criticism of Windows 11, Microsoft would not lift a finger.
The same case applies to the sudden increase in game prices. I’m still very worried and firm by shooting $ 80 game prices when Nintendo kickstarted it. Instead of just “accepting it” and letting it become a precedent, leave your dissatisfaction with it known as much as possible.
Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo are all more than able to do better and be reasonable with consumers, and the only thing I’ve ever seen work is to protest against measures that are out of line.
I could continue with Sony’s PS Plus and Microsoft’s subscription services, just For console players who have access to multiplayer and how absurd it really is – but ultimately it is an example of what happens when we let things slip or be normalized.
Either way, I am glad to hear that the valve has essentially been a catalyst for Microsoft to take handheld games and Windows 11 optimization more seriously because it has been necessary for a very long time now.
