Asus Reportedly Developing Xbox-Branded Handheld Gaming PC for 2025
The handheld, codenamed 'Project Kennan,' is part of Microsoft's effort to unify Xbox and Windows gaming experiences.
- The Xbox-branded handheld is reportedly being developed by Asus, not directly by Microsoft, under the codename 'Project Kennan.'
- The device will run on Windows with a modified Xbox-like interface as part of Microsoft's 'Project Bayside' initiative to unify gaming libraries across platforms.
- The handheld will support Xbox Game Pass, Xbox Cloud Gaming, and other storefronts like Steam and Epic Games Store, offering broad compatibility.
- Speculated pricing for the device ranges from $499 to $599, with potential hardware configurations using AMD's Z2 chipsets.
- Microsoft and Asus have not officially announced the device, but reports suggest a reveal could take place this summer ahead of a possible late 2025 launch.
