I’d hope real competition from Sony might change that, but we’ll have to see.Welcome to r/SteamDeck, the subreddit for Valve's handheld computer. It just means that as a company trying to make most of its money selling software subscriptions and cloud infrastructure, it doesn’t have to. That doesn’t mean Microsoft couldn’t make a difference with a “Surface Deck,” offering a model for the ideal handheld Windows device and spurring even more competition in the space. The Proton compatibility layer that’s so key to the Steam Deck’s success is an admission from Valve that no one’s jumping at the opportunity to develop for Linux. ![]() As long as targeting Windows is the main concern of game developers, Microsoft wins. Companies like Asus are already making handheld Windows machines like the ROG Ally without explicit support from Microsoft (that either company has publicly claimed, at least). Microsoft could also pivot the Surface Duo from a phone to a Steam Deck-like handheld. Hell, keep the kickstand! Or make a Backbone-like detachable controller for a Surface Go or Pro. It’s not hard to imagine a next-gen Surface Go with controller buttons and joysticks flanking its display. It can make running PC games designed for Windows on a handheld even easier than Valve does if it wants to. Not to mention, handhelds are really hot right now. The company has the design expertise, and, more importantly, full control over Windows. The internal specs of Surface devices are modest - the Surface Laptop Studio has an Nvidia graphics card, but it's a 3050 Ti - and most of Microsoft’s effort seems focused on improving the form factor of the modern laptop as opposed to anything else.īut that could be the reason to at least try. Plenty of people choose Windows because of gaming, but you wouldn’t know that looking at the Surface lineup. Microsoft has never really tried to focus on PC gaming with its Surface hardware, either. It’s Android-based and underpowered by design, only meant to access cloud gaming services. The G Cloud has its charms, but it gets nowhere near running the number of games that a Steam Deck or Ayaneo handheld can. The closest the company has publicly come to a handheld of its own is consulting with Logitech on the Logitech G Cloud Gaming Handheld and helping to market the device. Until this point, Microsoft has seemed to view handheld hardware as largely an opportunity to push Game Pass and Xbox Cloud Gaming. Microsoft suggests the Surface Laptop Studio can be used to play games, but it definitely doesn’t view it as its main purpose. ![]()
