Phil Spencer, the top person in charge of Xbox, has been subtly suggesting it. He mentioned that he likes PC-based handheld systems such as the Steam Deck.

And let’s face it – when someone high up says something, it usually means there’s a plan being put together, and like your morning coffee, something is indeed brewing. Maybe we’re finally getting an Xbox handheld gaming console.

With the showcase coming soon, all attention will be on Microsoft to determine whether these rumors become true. And oh boy, if luck is with us, we might be able to touch something groundbreaking.
