Microsoft is set to revolutionize Windows-based portable console gaming.Xbox VP Jason Ronald revealed that the company aims to revolutionize the Windows gaming experience on portable devices later this year.
Windows will be optimized for portable consoles
Microsoft wants to combine Xbox’s console expertise with Windows. The aim is to provide a smoother, console-like experience for both gamers and developers. Jason Ronald also acknowledged that Windows’ performance on portable devices is inadequate.
He stated that they are aware that projects such as customized SteamOS offered by the community often offer a better alternative for portable gaming experience. To solve this problem, Microsoft is focusing on simplifying Windows on portable devices and bringing it closer to the console experience.
The goal would be to deliver an experience centered around the player and their game library, rather than the complexity of the operating system. Ronald declined to give any real details but promised to share more information later in the year.
Optimizing Windows for portable gaming will also be an ongoing process, he said, and more improvements are planned. This is a positive development for users of Windows-based handheld gaming devices who have been waiting for improvements for a long time.
