Microsoft wants to make its mark on the handheld scene; the only problem is that the competition is pretty fierce. Even if you ignore the tons of handheld consoles that were released in the past few years, the Steam Deck still puts up a decent fight despite being the pioneer in the scene. People are also noticing that SteamOS runs their games better than Windows 11. With Valve’s operating system set for a general release, Microsoft runs the risk of losing market share as users switch over to SteamOS instead, especially if the latter version costs less.
