A video from a recent Microsoft Hackathon, an internal event where Microsoft employees propose new features and solutions for Windows, was leaked to the WalkingCat Twitter account recently, showing Microsoft's possible plans for releasing Windows Handheld Mode for Windows 11.
The majority of the video focuses on plans to make Windows 11 handheld-friendly. It is well known that Windows can't be operated at all with a gamepad, even though it supports a really wide range of gamepads, and it seems the rapid surge in popularity of the Steam Deck inspired Microsoft to consider making an effort to address this issue.
On the other hand, Steam Deck's operating system is based on the Linux OS and works just perfectly, supporting the majority of the games that can be played on the Steam PC client.
Unfortunately, there is no official statement from Microsoft confirming that Windows Handheld Mode is truly in development. This was a suggested experiment, and its future status is still unknown. Even so, it's encouraging to know that Microsoft is at least considering issues of this nature.
In addition to discussing Windows' Handheld mode, the video also addressed the release of the universal Gaming Shell launcher, which would bring together all the PC games we already own under single app. Other launchers and some third-party applications already use this concept, and it appears that Microsoft intends to include this app as part of Windows 11 in future updates.
