"Microsoft has effectively cancelled its plans for its own handheld gaming console, choosing instead to focus on developing Xbox software for third-party collaborations."
"Phil Spencer noted the unprecedented collaboration between the gaming and Windows teams at Microsoft, reflecting a major shift in strategy for handling handheld gaming."
Microsoft reportedly cancelled its plans to launch a handheld gaming console to compete with Nintendo Switch 2. Instead, the company aims to enhance its Xbox software platform for third-party OEMs to create their own Xbox-branded handheld devices. Reports indicate that this strategic pivot follows the unveiling of Asus's ROG Xbox Ally, which runs Windows but uses a custom Xbox interface. Phil Spencer emphasized this inter-departmental collaboration as significant for Microsoft's future in the handheld gaming market, representing a shift from hardware to collaborative development with other manufacturers.
