There has been a lot of buzz about Xbox's handheld console in recent months. While a next gene console is also reportedly in the works, seemingly set for launch around 2027, it suggested that the sources suggested that the “unequivocally Xbox” handheld device should launch some time this year, but it seems that things have changed.

Xbox to become a steam tire competitor is perfect meaning
If Xbox plans to leave home consoles behind, it's time to go hand.
A report from Windows Central's Jez Corden, the same that published the first report, has now said it may take a while before we see the handholder, as Microsoft decided to prioritize the improvement in Windows 11 and other third -party units. The first party's handler is still on the way, but the plans have been applied a bit.
Xbox First Party Handheld Console can be launched later than expected
“Microsoft still wants to build its own Xbox dealer in the future,” says the report. “But Microsoft has decided to prioritize its teams to improve Windows 11 gaming performance, especially for devices such as the ASUS partner unit” project Kennan. “It is possible that the existential threat from Steamos, which on paper delivers better gaming performance than Windows 11 itself, has informed these decisions.”
While Microsoft is still planning to run its first-party hand-handed, sources have said that it was internally announced earlier today that the company's priorities have changed to Windows 11 performance and third-party units such as Asus' Project Kennan. An official announcement can be made in a few days, depending on how long the delay will be.

It's time for Xbox Game Pass on Nintendo Switch
Feels unlikely, but I never say.
While an Xbox manager has not been officially revealed, Xbox manager Phil Spencer revealed in November last year that the company has worked against something, possibly still in the prototype phase.
Microsoft's VP in the next generation, Jason Ronald gave us some tips on the console and said it would combine “Best of Xbox and Windows” and be more PC-oriented. Of course, all this was said months ago, and things could easily change, given how drastically Microsoft has changed its strategy completely.
As far as the console itself is concerned, reports indicate that it will be an independent device, which can run Xbox games naturally, unlike the Playstation Portal, which flows games from your PS5.
