Kane99 Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 There's been rumors of Microsoft working on an Xbox handheld for ages now, and it seems we're getting closer to a possibility of that if this news happens to be true. I'm hearing that Asus is working with Xbox on a possible handheld console in order to compete with the Steam Deck. The Xbox handheld would have a Windows OS, likely Windows 11. The codename for the new handheld is "Project Kennan" and could release in late 2025. Now if they can make this handheld work with Steam, it would be a gamechanger. Well, we do already have alternatives to the Steam Deck that uses Windows and likely work with Steam as well, but I think an Xbox handheld could do more. But, we'll see how this all plays out.

Scorpion Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 I think it's an exciting development that Microsoft is collaborating with Asus on a handheld! If "Project Kennan" delivers seamless Windows integration and efficient performance, it could indeed rival the Steam Deck and offer gamers even more options. Looking forward to seeing how it unfolds!

killamch89 Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Good luck with that, Xbox. With Steam OS coming to non-Steam Deck PC Handhelds, they're going to take over the space and Xbox UI will be too late to stop this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shortie Posted 22 hours ago Share Posted 22 hours ago I am looking forward to seeing the handheld from Xbox. I have long said I would love to see a handheld console from Xbox and it finally seems as though this may be happening. I know that I read that images were leaked of the Xbox handheld console and from what I have seen, it looks good so far, we just need an announcement which I hope is coming soon.
