SteamOS puts the pressure on Microsoft’s Xbox-branded handheld

Lenovo’s Legion Go S with SteamOS runs for just over six hours on the Windows model.

In Dead Cells, at 60fps , it doesn’t even manage to hit the three-hour mark just for choosing Windows .

Windows still struggles with power management for sleeping devices, causing them to sip too much power in the background or heat up inside your bag while trying to perform updates.

Microsoft is working with Asus to develop an Xbox-branded handheld.

Computex passed by last week without Asus teasing the device, especially as the technology show is an ideal place to show off any new PC gaming hardware.

Asus and Microsoft are still planning to launch the device later this year .

We still haven’t seen any leaks of this Xbox interface on Windows , and I’m really hoping it’s a lot more than a big picture mode for the Xbox app.

Windows will still be at the heart of this experience, but I understand that Microsoft has been working on showing games from Steam .

Microsoft is rolling out an early version of its Copilot for Gaming experience on iOS and Android .

Microsoft ’s Smart App Control analyzes apps on your PC against a database of trusted and harmful apps, similar to an antivirus program.
