It is revealed that Microsoft is still developing the first Xbox handheld console! New Xbox debuts as early as next year

Jun 18 2025

  Tech media The Verge said last week that Microsoft has postponed or may even permanently shelve its own Xbox game handheld, but the latest news said that Microsoft is still developing the first-party Xbox handheld.

  YouTube blogger extas1s quoted Kepler_L2's leaked information in a video yesterday, saying that the development progress of the first-party Xbox handheld console was 1 to 2 years later than that of the Sony PS handheld console, suggesting that Microsoft is still continuing to develop the first-party handheld console.

extas1s also revealed that the next generation of Xbox consoles may be announced as early as next year. Foreign media NotebookCheck said that although consoles usually follow a seven-year iteration cycle (the next generation is expected to be released in 2027), Microsoft seems to want to enter the market in advance.

  Wrestler Kepler_L2 also said that the next generation of Xbox will be a pure host rather than a hybrid device, equipped with an operating system optimized for handles.
