Xbox gaming boss Phil Spencer has discussed the idea of a Microsoft handheld games device, and how Xbox games should play on third-party handheld hardware.
Spencer, a keen handheld PC enthusiast, told Polygon that Microsoft was discussing “different hardware form factors and things that [they] could go do” to grow the Xbox audience further.
“What should we build that will find new players?” Spencer mused. “That will allow people to play at times when they couldn’t go play [in the past]?”
In the nearer term, Spencer said he was keen to improve the Xbox experience on existing PC handheld hardware – such as the Steam Deck, Lenovo Legion Go and Asus ROG Ally – and has a list of new features in mind.
