  Xbox has influenced PC gaming too much for that.

    Steam Deck buttons are Xbox layout.

    Better than the old days of “Press 3,” or worse- having to map keys to joystick buttons in the config of everything

      But SteamOS (UI) itself lets you configure it. It even has controller-agnostic button prompts, kind of similar to Breath of the Wild’s where it shows you each button and highlights the one you should press. If I was at home, I’d share a picture of it.

      I hope we can reach the point where everything is convenient to switch to whatever you preference/physical controller is in every game.

      Maybe one day.

  Never mind that abxy business what the hell happened to Start and Select!?

  I know those buttons no longer do what theyre named after, but neither does rewinding a video or hanging up a phone.

  Just have left x, upper x, right x and lower x. That way there’s no confusion possible.

  Since when is Xbox gone? Microsoft would be silly to kill off their console, they’d lose a pretty significant chunk of Game Pass subscribers. The rumors point to a hybrid PC/console, but it’s still an Xbox.

  Of course, Microsoft making foolish decisions would be nothing new.

    What I got is that they’re trying to move to OEMs, like windows PCs. Either way, switching to a PC platform seems doomed, because who would choose that when Steam exists.

      They want to integrate Steam with the console, from the rumors I saw. They’ve already integrated Steam into the Xbox app on PC, as I understand it.

      More flexibility is a good thing. Console Game Pass and Steam on the same system? Yes please.
