Microsoft may be exploring options to improve Windows' compatibility with handheld gaming devices like the Steam Deck. A leaked video showcases a concept for a Windows handheld mode for devices similar to the Steam Deck, demonstrating an optimized Windows 11 UI, a launcher, and gaming shell designed for touchscreens and controllers. The video also highlights prototype work done by a senior UX designer at Microsoft, including a launcher that can play games from Steam, PC Game Pass, EA Play, Epic Games Store, and more. While it's unclear if this project was picked up at September's hackathon, it's encouraging to see Microsoft employees pushing for it to happen. As the gaming industry continues to evolve, it's exciting to see what possibilities are on the horizon for handheld gaming on Windows.
