The Switch 2 is just around the corner and according to a new report it could be joined by a new Xbox handheld ”later in 2025”.
A new ’exclusive’ from Windows Central claims Microsoft is partnering with another company to deliver a PC gaming OEM ”think ASUS, Lenovo, MSI, Razer, etc” and something ”similar to Lenovo’s SteamOS partnership with Valve”.
This product, codenamed ’Keenan’, is expected to look ”unmistakably Xbox”, be ”more PC-orientated” and will apparently come complete with ”an official Xbox guide button, and Xbox design sensibilities”. It would run on Windows and put the Microsoft Store and PC Game Pass at the forefront of the device, with the ability to install other programs like Steam.
This same exclusive also notes how this is just a warmup for Microsoft – further claiming Xbox will release its own dedicated gaming handheld at some point in 2027. Microsoft has already confirmed plans for a new console system and handheld, so we’ll let you know if we hear any significant updates.
