Even Microsoft Seems to Know Gaming on Windows 11 Isn't Great These Days

Microsoft is reportedly launching an internal Windows K2 effort to slow rushed feature releases and prioritize update quality and performance.

A key focus is improving Windows gaming performance, with SteamOS reportedly being used as a benchmark target.

The move suggests Microsoft is responding to criticism of Windows 11 gaming issues and the growing appeal of Linux-based gaming on Steam.

If real, the shift could make Windows more competitive on gaming PCs and handhelds against SteamOS and devices like the Lenovo Legion Go S and Xbox Ally X.
