And why not? Microsoft may be developing its own handheld console

On the wave of popularity of such portable consoles as Steam Deck and Nintendo Switch, major IT giants are paying more and more attention to this market.

Thus, in 2023 Sony released PlayStation Portal and it is logical that the main competitor of the Japanese - Microsoft Corporation - is also interested in releasing a similar device under the Xbox brand.

Here's What We Know

Journalist Jez Corden in his material on Windows Central states that among several global projects Microsoft is listed and the release of a portable console, the basis of which will be the service Xbox Cloud Gaming.

Such information has appeared in the media before, but Jez Corden's post with a link to the article was liked by the head of Xbox Phil Spencer.

In itself this event (like) means nothing, but given that at the moment there is a lot of news about Microsoft's new strategy, we can assume that one of its points is the release of its own portable console, especially since the corporation has the technological base, infrastructure, funds and resources to implement such a project.
