The videos show the developers discussing the growing market for handheld gaming PCs and their own efforts to get Windows to work well in a handheld format.
They worked with a separate community of developers to create Steam Deck controls for Windows and showed how they could get Windows to run with a custom UI inside Valve’s popular handheld. The developers also created a quick launcher for users to navigate between an app store and the games themselves.
The presentation mentions that a minimum product would need a suitable touch keyboard, UI scaling, control mapping, and a "robust launcher" for quickly accessing games. The developers believe that a Windows gaming experience dialed-in to handhelds represents a new revenue stream, as well as being a goodwill gesture to the PC gaming community.
Despite speculation that Microsoft may eventually release a handheld console, so far the company has not announced any plans to do so.
