💨 Abstract

Microsoft has reportedly canceled its plans for a first-party Xbox handheld device to focus on improving gaming performance on Windows 11 and developing a new software platform. This decision has caused internal conflict, with some believing the project is merely sidelined. Meanwhile, the ROG Xbox Ally, a portable PC with Xbox features, is set to launch but may not significantly impact the market. Microsoft's future console plans remain uncertain, with a potential release in 2027.
