If you wonder why Microsoft prepares two handhelds, there are some good reasons for this obvious decision. According to another leak by Tom Warren by The Verge, the first handheld is actually produced by Asus and, in contrast to Xbox OS, is carried out on the market in contrast to Xbox OS.

Windows Central is of the opinion that it is Kennan with the code name Kennan and will have an official Xbox Guide button with other design speaking elements from Xbox. It is expected to be published in 2025. However, Tom Warren believes that the code name for this console is in contrast to Kennan Keenan.

The Xbox -Gaming Handle, which Microsoft develops, comes in 2027 with the rest of the Xbox set -up. What distinguishes the first handheld is that it will be published earlier and acts as a test device for Microsoft to see how well the market reacts. Based on this information, Microsoft will publish and market the second Xbox handheld, which is reported to be on the market in 2027.

However, the first Xbox Gaming handheld should also perform Steam, Epic Games Store and StoreFronts, as it is expected that there is Windows.

However, remember that we are at least two years away from publication so that things can change.
