Amidst growing rumors, Xbox head Phil Spencer has confirmed that Microsoft is indeed developing a handheld Xbox console. However, he emphasized that the project is still in its early stages.
In an interview with Bloomberg, Spencer acknowledged the development of handheld prototypes, stating that Microsoft is exploring different approaches to find the best solution. He stressed that Xbox is not rushing the release, preferring to thoroughly research the existing market to deliver an innovative product. Therefore, a handheld Xbox is not expected to launch in the near future.
While Microsoft takes its time, enthusiasts are already creating their own handheld Xbox solutions. One modder, for example, transformed the original Xbox into a portable console capable of playing all original titles, a project that took just four months.
