Xbox handheld to arrive in 2025, new console in 2027

Microsoft's own handheld is probably coming sooner than expected. And there is also a supposed release date for the successor to the Xbox Series X/S.

The first Xbox handhelds are set to appear this year - plural. They will not come directly from Microsoft, but from third-party manufacturers such as Asus, Lenovo or MSI. However, they should speak the Xbox design language, including dedicated Xbox buttons. The code name for the project is Keenan.

New Xbox in two years

Even though the Xbox Series X/S is selling significantly worse than the Playstation 5, Microsoft is not giving up the living room without a fight. A new Xbox console is due to be released in 2027. Microsoft CEO Satja Nadella has already given the green light, writes Windows Central. The new device is set to replace the Xbox Series X and will therefore not be in the budget range. There will also be a range of controller options.

I'm curious to see whether Xbox will have more success with the new hardware strategy than with the current generation.

As a child, I wasn't allowed to have any consoles. It was only with the arrival of the family's 486 PC that the magical world of gaming opened up to me. Today, I'm overcompensating accordingly. Only a lack of time and money prevents me from trying out every game there is and decorating my shelf with rare retro consoles.
