Making PC gaming more like consoles, but in a good way?
we published today for the ROG Ally, we loved the performance and screen but found that Windows still causes some issues squeezed into such a small device. A renewed focus from Microsoft on bringing quality-of-life features from the console to Windows could be part of turning that around, although it’s unclear if the discussions are focusing on individual games or changes made at the operating system layer.
UI isn’t the only issue with Windows gaming handhelds. Another example that didn’t quite make it into our Ally review: Windows portables go into an internet-connected “Modern Standby” mode when you press the power button, theoretically letting you download games and quickly resume an in-progress game while the system’s saving battery.
In practice, downloads didn’t continue, and we lost more battery than if we’d simply put the Ally into hibernate mode — but setting the power button to hibernate means you can accidentally put the system into a deep sleep when you’re simply trying to wake the screen. Closing these gaps at the operating system layer could let Windows gaming devices like the Ally more easily take their massive gaming libraries on the go — as of today, Valve’s Steam Deck feels better tuned for a handheld device despite its limitations.
