Microsoft is launching the Windows K2 initiative to deliver major gaming upgrades for Windows 11, directly benchmarking against SteamOS for superior performance. The project focuses on debloating the OS to slash idle memory usage and stripping out unnecessary AI features that clutter the experience. Early community buzz, sparked by a popular Counter-Strike 2 news account, shows excitement mixed with skepticism as some players report stronger results on Linux distros. If successful, K2 could close the gap with console-like efficiency on PC. This marks a significant shift as Microsoft intensifies efforts to retain gamers on its platform.
