Microsoft’s upcoming Xbox handheld, likely releasing by 2027, may feature a Switch-style docking system, allowing both handheld and TV play. Reports suggest two handheld projects: one by ASUS (possibly 2025) and a “true” successor by Microsoft (2027). The latter may use Qualcomm chips, support games from Microsoft Store, Epic, and Steam, and could even run PlayStation titles—a first for Xbox. However, details remain unconfirmed. Release timelines vary, with some pointing to 2027 and others to 2028.

    I honestly thought the entire point of the Series S was that they would later be able to shrink it down into a portable device without any game patches

    Call it the “xbox series s” without capitalization lol, Microsoft loves confusing names, right?

      Yeah, that would be perfect!

      Or (alternatively) they could majorly underclock the a shrunken series X chip to make it equivalent to an S.
