Six ways Microsoft’s portable Xbox could be a Steam Deck killer
-
Beware when sensationalized journalists use the word "killer" cause it usually means they're full of shit
Remember how HAZE was going to be the "halo killer?"
Remember xDefiant was the "call of duty killer?"
Ars lost a fuck ton of points from me for this dog shit sensationalized title
How many Halo killers have we forgotten about at this point?

- A bespoke user interface
- A gaming-focused OS
- [Play] More than just Xbox
- Bring old Xbox games to PC
- Multiple hardware tiers
- “Made for Xbox”
Steam Deck already does 1, 2 and 3.
Now pair it with constant nags (Enhance your experience by signing into a Microsoft account, Subscribe to Gamepass! Have you tried Copilot???), and Microsoft's inability to ever add anything new to their controllers (bye bye Gyro and Touchpads) and you've lost me. -

That title alone is all the proof i need.
Clickbait so it'll never live up to the claim.

Apart from the bait title it's a reasonable article. If they'd have called it "Six things Microsoft need to do for their portable Xbox to compete with the Steam Deck" it could have had exactly the same content.
