Microsoft Explores Windows Optimization for Steam Deck Gaming.

A Microsoft hackathon project aimed at optimizing Windows 11 for Steam Deck-style devices has been revealed. The project would have improved driver support, fine-tuned the interface, and introduced tools to help users quickly launch and exit games regardless of which service they came from. The proposal was spurred by the desire to use multiple non-Steam services and Windows' support for game mods and trainers. While the project didn't go much of anywhere, the developer is hopeful that the publicity will help pitch the idea a second time.
