Microsoft’s personal proprietary handheld continues to be within the works, in accordance with Home windows Central, and is predicted to be years away, reportedly a part of the company’s next-generation plans for 2027 alongside the Xbox Collection X successor. Polygon has not independently confirmed the launch of an Xbox handheld — both in 2025, or in 2027 with a next-generation console — however we’ve reached out to Microsoft for remark.
The reported 2025 “associate handheld” is codenamed Keenan, per Home windows Central, and “will look unmistakably ‘Xbox’ […] full with an official Xbox information button, and Xbox design sensibilities.” Particulars, in any other case, are slim, leaving plenty of questions on what precisely the hand held is or might be. Is that this a reskinned iteration on the ASUS ROG Ally, Lenovo Legion Go, or one other handheld? One thing extra distinctive to Xbox?
“I would like my Lenovo Legion Go to really feel like an Xbox,” Spencer informed Polygon final yr. “I introduced [the Legion Go] with me to GDC. I’m on the airplane and I’ve this checklist of all the pieces that makes it not really feel like an Xbox. Neglect in regards to the model. Extra like: Are all of my video games there? Do all my video games present up with the save that I would like?”
If Spencer has any say, the upcoming Xbox handheld, no matter who manufactures it, will definitely try and have that Xbox really feel.
