Xbox Handheld Device “Essentially Canceled” – Report
Though Microsoft never announced an official Xbox handheld device, there were rumors about how such a device might factor into the company’s next-gen console plans. Those plans are continuing to evolve, it seems, as a new report said Microsoft’s own Xbox handheld is “essentially canceled.”
A report from The Verge, citing insiders, said such a device is no longer going forward. This follows on from a report at the end of May that suggested plans for an Xbox handheld were sidelined.
The Verge’s report added that Microsoft remains bullish on the idea of making “next-gen Xbox hardware,” but perhaps not in the way people think. “We’ll see multiple devices from PC makers like Asus that will also be considered next-gen Xbox consoles,” the report said.
