Not an official announcement, but it’s probably safe to assume an Xbox handheld is in development.

    If they make a device that doesn’t suck, will people not just install Steam on it?

        I doubt even Microsoft are stupid enough to think they could release a PC-based gaming handheld without Steam support and not fail spectacularly.

          I saw a video on the extent they went to locking down the Xbox, I think they would do the same for the handheld.

          If it’s Xbox branded they could probably get away with it.

              They use the xbox brand for microsoft store pc games too, and it’s probably those + gamepass that it would run. Those should let you lower the graphics.

              Also if the device is successful, it might actually get more devs to release their games on the Microsoft store instead of just on Steam, which would be a win-win for Microsoft.

          Every console they release is so locked down you can’t even install their own os on it, I think you’re wrong.
