- Microsoft would have sidelined his native Xbox laptop in favor of optimizing Windows 11 portable game PCs
- The portable collaboration of the “Kennan project” with Asus is still in progress
- It seems that it is a direct response to the Valve vapor success after being available for pocket computers
Valve recently took the spotlight on portable games, providing steamos support for pocket computers not in a team – and, therefore, Microsoft apparently put aside one of its most anticipated devices to compete with the Linux -based operating system.
According to an exclusivity of our Friends of Windows Central, Microsoft would have momentarily put his pocket computer native of Xbox temporarily, because he will now go to the optimization of Windows 11 for third -party portable play PCs – and “ Project Kennan ”, a new laptop on the Xbox theme in collaboration with Asus.
This occurs shortly after the launch of a new Lenovo Legion Go S, an officially approved Steamos portable game PC – and it seems that the revelations of the Steamos version outperform the Windows 11 model in the game can have pushed Microsoft to modify its priorities.
Windows 11 has not yet included a “portable” mode or everything that focuses on portability to help rationalize the portable game experience. Although software like Armory Crate (alongside tools like Xbox Game Bar) have helped hand players with quick access and other necessary TDP adjustment parameters, this was struggling to correspond to the Steamos experience for players.
It is not exactly clear if the code laptop, Project Kennan, will come in the form of a long -awaited Asus Rog successor. However, it is clear that Valve’s success has turned on a fire under Microsoft to take the portable games seriously – and rightly so, as many would say.
Analysis: players are exactly why expressing your frustrations is important
If there is something that Microsoft’s reported actions highlight, it is that the expression of your complaints and frustrations do Indeed, work. I say that because I can almost guarantee that without the praise of Steamos and the recent criticisms of Windows 11, Microsoft will not lift my finger.
The same case applies to the sudden increase in game prices. I am always very worried and categorical about the drop in game prices of $ 80, because Nintendo launched it. Instead of simply “accepting it” and letting it become a previous one, make your dissatisfaction known as much as possible.
Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo are all more than capable of doing better and being reasonable with consumers, and the only thing I have ever seen working is to protest against the measures that are out of line.
I could talk about Sony and Microsoft subscription services, just For console players having access to multiplayer, and how absurd it is – but in the end, this is an example of what is happening when we let things slip or normalize.
Anyway, I am happy to learn that Valve was essentially a catalyst for Microsoft to take portable games and a Windows 11 optimization more seriously, because it has been necessary for a very long time now.
