Many are waiting for the release of the portable Xbox which is so much talked about at Microsoft. However, we have bad news for you from Leaker.
It moves a lot on the side of Microsoft In recent times. On the one hand, exclusives gradually leave their house ecosystem to venture into the land of PlayStation. Forza Horizon 5, Indiana Jones, Hellblade 2 … They all export one by one. On the other hand, the plans for the future would have changed in terms of hardware. More specifically, this would concern the famous project of a “Xbox Portable”.
Microsoft reviews its priorities for portable Xbox
Microsoft does not hide its ambition to decompartmentalize the ecosystem of its consoles. The Xbox brand is no longer limited to a single medium, no longer hesitating to deposit its First Party licenses in the competition catalog. But, in addition to that, the manufacturer seeks to open the game on all possible supports. This is why a project of Xbox Portable would be in preparation.
In fact, Phil Spencer himself had said that a new device would see the light of day in the coming years. However, he was not yet certain of the form he would take. However, bad news will surprise those who await it. It seems that the decision is not for right now. According to the latest information from Windows Central, Plans for the “portable xbox” would have been interrupted, at least temporarily.
Microsoft would seek to leave this portable Xbox aside for the moment to concentrate its efforts elsewhere in priority. According to journalist Jez Corden, the company would like first Optimize Windows 11 more on portable devices Designed with tutior partners. Among the collaborations targeted, there would be a certain project “Kennan”, the machine which recently has leaké as probably the Asus ROG Ally 2.
In short, the Kennan project arriving at the end of design, Microsoft would work hard to finish its optimization. Therefore, it seems more relevant for the company to complete his work on this collaboration with Asus, while continuing his tests in terms of cloud gaming. Then, it will resume the internal site of this portable Xbox which stirs up the curiosity of specialists.
Given the place that the competition takes on the market, starting with the Steamdeck and certainly the future Nintendo Switch 2, Microsoft does not want to miss its nomadic turn. Especially since Sony would also invest for its part for a potential “PS6 Portable“. In front, There is therefore no question for the company to miss the portable xbox.
