Everyone that is scared they can't play the most popular online games on their handheld. So theoretically a massive demographic according to research (most pc gamers play older live service titles) done but whether they would want a gaming handheld is a different question.

34 million people are on all Xbox game pass versions. How much of that is on PC game pass, I have no idea.
