Xbox Handheld Device "Essentially Canceled" - Report
A new report sheds more light on Microsoft's plans for the handheld space
Spencer alluded to a closer collaboration between PC and console in a recent Xbox podcast interview. "This is the tightest collaboration I've seen between the gaming organization and the Windows team in my three decades at the company," he said. Spencer also mentioned how Windows PC is an open platform and that he believes, if managed properly, a PC can be considered "as a game console."
While Microsoft may not develop its own dedicated gaming handheld device, the company is working with third-party devices like the recently announced Rog Ally handhelds from Asus.
GameSpot has contacted Microsoft in an attempt to get more details on the company's plans for handheld devices going forward.
In February 2024, Xbox president Sarah Bond confirmed Microsoft was making new Xbox hardware and went on to make a bold statement about what it could deliver. Bond said this next Xbox, whatever it turns out to be, will offer the "largest technical leap you will have ever seen in a hardware generation." That's a bold claim, for sure. Bond didn't offer anything else, like how Microsoft might achieve this, nor did she provide any timetable for the console's release.
The new Xbox Rog Ally devices launch this holiday, but there is no word on pricing as of yet. The systems can play all types of games, including PlayStation PC titles.
