After the Legion Go S under Windows 11, Lenovo will soon launch a version of the same console under SteamOS. Everyone will then be able to realize that Microsoft's operating system is not necessarily the most suitable for these devices: the interface is not optimized, but above all, the performance is not at all up to scratch. The paradox is that Windows games run better on SteamOS than on Windows, while SteamOS is a Linux...
Microsoft officially announced at the beginning of the year its intention to improve support for portable consoles, by combining Windows and the Xbox application. The aim is to offer users of the future Legion Go and other ROG Ally an experience closer to a console than to that of a traditional computer. Not to mention the optimizations that go a long way to ensuring these devices have performance and battery life at least on par with SteamOS.
The "Keenan" project, teased by Asus and Microsoft for several months, is expected later this year; it's an "Xbox console" that will be the first embodiment of this new software. And this project is clearly far from over, so much so that Microsoft has simply decided to pause the development of its own portable console, we learn from Windows Central.
This doesn't mean that Microsoft will never release its portable Xbox; in fact, there are three prototypes currently in circulation. But while the manufacturer still intends to launch this product - which would be part of the future Xbox range - it has decided to prioritize software development for the Keenan project. Asus's future console will certainly be followed by other models from other manufacturers; there's no question of abandoning this market in the hands of Valve.
