As a seasoned gamer with decades of experience under my belt, I must admit that the prospect of an Xbox handheld has been a long-awaited dream for many of us in the gaming community. With the success of the Nintendo Switch and the recent entry of the Steam Deck, it’s high time Microsoft stepped into this market.
How might an Xbox portable device be designed? Could Microsoft opt for a more budget-friendly approach to compete with the Nintendo Switch, or perhaps aim higher by creating a handheld device that matches the performance level of a PC-like Steam Deck?
Although we’re unsure about its specifics yet, given the success of Game Pass, Xbox appears ready to achieve significant accomplishments in their upcoming handheld device.
As a devoted gaming enthusiast, I’ve been in the know for quite some time now that Xbox has been working on a handheld device. However, recent whispers from a trusted source hint at its imminent reveal – a prospect that has my heart racing with anticipation!
Xbox handheld could be announced next year
In the latest episode of the XboxTwo Podcast, host Jez Corden hinted at a potential revelation by Microsoft regarding their upcoming hardware, which is expected to be unveiled in 2025. He seemed to suggest that this could be a new handheld device.
A little birdie has told me that you might see genuinely new hardware next year, maybe, of some form, for Xbox…
… I do think next year is a good year for revealing new hardware, especially hardware you can hold in the palm of your hand and use portably.
Corden’s track record shows that he has accurately predicted certain leaks, and his position as editor at Windows Central gives him access within Xbox. Therefore, we have a good level of trust in this latest leak. However, it’s important to note that the official unveiling could potentially be postponed, considering Nintendo is planning to announce the Switch 2 next year too.
Instead of asking for a specific Xbox handheld, would you prefer a high-end model capable of running modern AAA games at a higher price point, or a more budget-friendly device designed to handle less demanding titles? It’s also possible that the device could utilize cloud gaming technology, similar to the PS Now service (though we certainly hope for a more robust solution).
