TL;DR Summary

Microsoft is reportedly prototyping a 'Windows Handheld Mode' for handheld gaming PCs, focusing on building a streamlined, controller-friendly version of Windows 11 that could work on devices like the Steam Deck. The project is still in its early stages and has not been officially greenlit by Microsoft. If launched, it could lead to PC Game Pass working natively on Steam Deck, bringing users closer to a 'portable Xbox' type of experience.
