Finding a game should be the easiest part of gaming. In module 1 of Breaking Down OwlOS, we’re taking a closer look at Game Hub & Access the system designed to bring your gaming world together under one roof. From the OwlOS home screen, where you can access your recently played games and favourites, to the unified Game Library, where you can browse, search, filter and organise your titles, the idea is to make getting into a game simpler. But gaming doesn’t always happen in just one place. Whether it’s games installed locally, supported cloud gaming services or remote-play experiences, OwlOS is designed to bring different ways of playing together while keeping them easy to navigate. And because a handheld is about more than just gaming, your everyday Android applications have their own dedicated space, keeping your gaming library focused and uncluttered. The philosophy is simple: spend less time finding your next game and more time playing it. A gaming OS, explained by the people building it.🦉 Let’s get into it. playarc.gg #PlayARC #ARCX1 #gaminghandheld

Everyone had questions. Some were polite. Some weren’t. We read all of them. So we decided to give them a platform of their own. Introducing BKL (Being Kind, Legally) where the founders get to answer the questions, criticism and occasionally uncomfortable opinions coming from the community. No dodging. No corporate answers. Just straight-up conversations. Episode 01: Is ARC actually a Chinese handheld? Watch it. Judge for yourself. And yes, keep the questions coming. #BKL #PlayARC

We’ve been working on different parts of OwlOS to bring the gaming experience on ARC X1 together. Now, we’re getting into the details. Danny and Anand from our engineering team will take you through the Game Library, Gamepad Controls, In-Game Control Center, Device & Performance, and System Stability. We’ll break down each part, one episode at a time. 🦉 Let’s get into it. playarc.gg #PlayARC #ARCX1 #gaminghandheld

You know that little vibration you feel when you interact with a device? There’s actually quite a bit of engineering behind it. In this episode, Rahul takes us through the LRA motors in ARC X1, why we chose them, and how haptics make a difference to the overall handheld gaming experience. It’s one of those details you might not think much about, until you experience the difference. Let’s get into it. playarc.gg #PlayARC #ARCX1 #gaminghandheld

Why a 7-inch display? Why LCD? Why this form factor? We’ve seen these questions come up, so we sat down with our engineer @RahulAhmedHaza1 to talk through the thinking behind these decisions and what goes into building a handheld like ARC X1 from scratch. playarc.gg/ 🦉

Disclaimer: The device shown is an EVT unit, not the final product. Building a handheld means engineering an entire computing system into the palm of your hands balancing performance, thermals, power efficiency and reliability. EVT validated the engineering. We’re now in DVT (Design Validation Test), refining the near-final hardware before PVT (Production Validation Test) takes us closer to manufacturing. The next version we show you will be DVT. 16 months of building. Every iteration takes us closer to ARC X1. Building ARC from the ground up, one iteration at a time. 🦉 #ARCX1 #PlayARC #EVT #Prototype #BuildInPublic

We spent months building ARC X1, thinking we had it all figured out. Then we handed it to gamers for beta testing. Turns out, they had other ideas. Here’s a little sneak peek. 👀 Full video out soon. 🦉 playarc.gg

Pre-sale was WILD. Things got chaotic, plans got tested, and we definitely had a few moments. Here’s a little peek at what went down behind the scenes of the ARC X1 Community Drop. And we’re just getting started. Coming up next: Beta Testing, Part 1, dropping during the festive season! Post the festivities, we get into benchmarking, reviews, and the next phase of building ARC X1. More testing, more learnings, more behind-the-scenes, and a whole lot more ARC. One chapter down. The build continues. 🦉 #PlayARC #ARCX1 #gaminghandheld
