Microsoft is working on a "Steam Deck" mode for Windows
14.4.2023
Translation: machine translated
A leaked video shows an early prototype of a handheld mode for Windows.
The growing popularity of devices such as the Steam Deck has not escaped Microsoft's notice. At an internal hackathon, at which employees present new ideas for projects, a concept for a handheld mode was presented. The interface would be ideal for devices such as the Steam Deck, which is very awkward to use with the current Windows 11 version.
The video of the hackathon was leaked by Twitter user h0x0d. In it, the current problems of handheld devices with Windows are explained in detail. They range from driver problems and sluggish navigation to the lack of a dedicated launcher, as offered by the SteamOS of the Steam Deck.
At the end of the video is a call to Microsoft's employees to take handheld gaming with Windows seriously. It is currently impossible to say what will become of the project. Such a gaming shell would certainly be necessary if you look at the growing list of Windows handhelds. <p

Philipp.Rueegg@digitecgalaxus.chAs a child, I wasn't allowed to have any consoles. It was only with the arrival of the family's 486 PC that the magical world of gaming opened up to me. Today, I'm overcompensating accordingly. Only a lack of time and money prevents me from trying out every game there is and decorating my shelf with rare retro consoles.
