As we continue to see growth in a new hardware segment for high-powered handhelds, Microsoft has an opportunity to court a new audience. In the wake of the company's Future of Xbox event, now feels like the right time for the world's first Xbox gaming handheld, with a device designed to deliver the full Xbox experience on the go.
First and foremost, with recent upcoming AMD APUs, there’s a chance we might be able to see a gaming handheld that matches the Xbox Series S’ performance profile in the near future. While the Series S is of course a more budget-oriented machine in the living room, the idea of having those same experiences natively in the palm of your hand is a compelling prospect. That’s including the potential of the full suite of the Xbox platform, some of which simply aren’t available on PC. Imagine being able to play Lost Odyssey, one of the Xbox 360’s greatest RPGs on the go, complete with features such as Quick Resume? Not to mention the ability to play upcoming multiplatform releases like Dragon’s Dogma 2 on the go.
