Microsoft 'dip' into handheld gaming market with Xbox and Windows

Instead of bringing Windows to Xbox, Microsoft will focus on integrating the best features of Xbox into Windows, creating a more seamless and powerful gaming ecosystem than ever before, according to Jason Ronald, Vice President of Microsoft.

The success of Steam Deck proves the appeal of an operating system optimized for mobile gaming. Can the Xbox-Windows combination compete with SteamOS? The answer will depend on Microsoft's ability to optimize performance, user-friendly interface, and rich game library.

The user interface on Windows handheld devices is expected to be redesigned in the style of Xbox, similar to Steam's Big Picture mode. This promises to bring a true console gaming experience to mobile devices.

This information also reinforces rumors that Microsoft is developing an Xbox handheld game console, expected to launch in 2026. Will this device use the Windows operating system integrated with Xbox or a completely new platform?

With ambitious changes, Microsoft is showing its determination to conquer the mobile gaming market. The combination of Windows hardware power and Xbox experience promises to create a new 'fever' in the gaming world .
