According to Windows Central’s latest report, it seems that Microsoft has no intention of stopping the production of Xbox gaming devices in the near future. Instead, they are planning to kick off fresh endeavors with an Xbox-branded handheld device, expected to hit the market later this year. Furthermore, speculations point towards a potential release of the next-generation Xbox hardware in 2027.
The report details that Xbox’s initial strategies involve a gaming handheld device, known internally as “Keenan.” It seems Microsoft won’t be fabricating this device directly; instead, they will partner with a hardware manufacturer (currently undisclosed) to produce a handheld device that will clearly embody the Xbox brand. This collaboration aims to incorporate an official Xbox guide button and showcase Xbox design aesthetics, making it similar to a Steam Deck but with Xbox branding attached.
As a passionate gamer, I’ve been keeping my eyes peeled for Xbox’s upcoming moves, and here’s what I’ve gathered: Despite the recent Xbox-branded portable PC, there are whispers of Xbox developing a handheld device down the line. Sources say this could be part of their next-gen gaming strategy, with CEO Satya Nadella reportedly giving it the green light. Windows Central predicts that the next generation of Xbox hardware will debut in 2027, featuring not only an upgraded console like the Series X, but also a handheld version for gaming on-the-go, and fresh Xbox controllers to match. Exciting times ahead!
This news is sure to spark interest among Xbox enthusiasts, as this console generation has been somewhat unpredictable for Microsoft. While the Xbox Series X and S offer robust gaming experiences, their sales have not matched those of competitors like the PS5 and Nintendo Switch. In a surprising move, Microsoft has adopted a multiplatform strategy that largely eliminates exclusive games on its hardware. Games such as “Sea of Thieves” and “Age of Mythology: Retold” are now available on the PS5, and ports of critically acclaimed Xbox exclusives like “Forza Horizon 5” and “Indiana Jones and the Great Circle” for the PS5 are imminent.
The shift in the Xbox release approach has raised concerns among certain fans about the longevity of Xbox as a gaming hardware company, but recent reports by Windows Central offer reassurance that we can expect Xbox to continue for another console generation at least. If the report is correct, we’re looking at only a few months until an Xbox-labeled portable PC and around two and a half years before a brand new Xbox console hits the market.
Looking ahead, I’m excitedly anticipating a wealth of first-hand Xbox gaming experiences coming my way! Titles such as “South of Midnight,” “The Outer Worlds 2,” “Towerborne” for consoles, and the long-awaited “Ninja Gaiden 4” are all set to drop in 2025. “Fable” is expected to grace our screens in 2026. Meanwhile, games like “Clockwork Revolution,” “Contraband,” “Everwild,” “Gears of War: E-Day,” “OD,” “Perfect Dark,” and “State of Decay 3” are currently under development for the Xbox Series X|S, with no official release dates just yet. Here’s hoping they all make it to my controller before the dawn of the next generation of Xbox!
