Steam Ate Microsoft's Lunch On PC, It's About To Do The Same On Handhelds
- Valve’s Steam Deck, is by far the most successful portable gaming PC ever created and will popularize SteamOS as the most popular way to play PC games on the go.
- Steam Deck is powered by SteamOS, a Linux-based, gaming-focused operating system that made it easier than ever to buy, install, and play almost any PC game on the portable device.
- Other companies have released competitors, but none of them include SteamOS, so these devices are harder to use and clunkier.
- Microsoft had a chance to potentially offer a lightweight, easy-to-use version of Windows that portable PC makers could put onto their machines, but the Xbox parent never did.
- Valve is ready to make it easier than ever to install SteamOS on more devices and let users install SteamOS on any portable PC they own.
- SteamOS will likely be the default way to play games on a portable PC and could become popular on TV-based console-like devices or desktops.
- Microsoft had a chance to compete with Valve in the handheld gaming space, but Xbox never dethrone SteamOS as the most popular way to play PC games on the go.
- Time has seemingly run out for Microsoft to dominate a corner of the gaming market, and Valve has won again.
