Given the popularity of the Steam Deck, the Xbox handheld would have to come free with the purchase of any Xbox exclusive game to stand a chance in that sphere, I think. The fact that it's Win11 immediately turns me off and I say this as someone who still uses Windows.

lol, what is this 'Xbox Exclusive Game' you speak of, in 2025?

[–] DebatableRaccoon@lemmy.ca 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

A hypothetical one, of course

Microsoft has plenty of console exclusives, so they are on PlayStation and Switch but not Windows for whatever reason. Crash Team Racing Nitro Fueled is one I'm confused why they don't trust their own platform with.

That said, they don't trust their own Windows on ARM devices either and those should definitely be capable enough to run games that come to Switch.
