Here’s what I find fascinating — Microsoft’s kinda doing a dance around their Xbox handheld. It’s like when you plan a big trip, then ditch it for the spur-of-the-moment road trip instead. They’ve got this thing with Asus, called “Kennan” or something. Seriously, who names these gadgets? Anyway, they’re diving into optimizing Windows 11 for handhelds.
Gotta love it when something shifts, though. SteamOS is the fun party-goer that’s shaking things up for Windows 11 handhelds. It’s a trade-off, though. Running SteamOS means you’re basically saying bye to Game Pass. But hey, performance is apparently banging.
Okay, if you missed the memo, Microsoft was rumored to be all-in on several handheld gaming devices. A real nerd fest. They had their own Xbox version in the works, plus this project with Asus—”Project Kennan,” which sounds like a secret agent, right? Windows Central spills that “Kennan’s” mostly ready to rock later this year. Not holding my breath, but fingers crossed.
Apparently, Microsoft’s own baby was supposed to run full Xbox games. Imagine having a mini Xbox in your pocket! Alas, it’s chilling on the back burner now. Guess they got other fish to fry.
Meanwhile, everyone and their dog seems to be hyped about Windows 11 for handhelds. Asus ROG Ally, Legion Go S — both running SteamOS and Windows 11. Each has its perks. SteamOS is your performance ace, and Windows 11 is cozy with its ecosystem.
Oh, if you’re into tech gossip, stick with Tom’s Hardware on Google News. Their take on gadgets is pretty ace. Anyway, I think that’s all the chaos I’ve got about Microsoft handhelds for now. Who knows where this roller coaster goes next?
