@[email protected] @[email protected] I wouldn’t be surprised if Xbox pivots to handheld gaming, or at least convert the next iteration of the low end console (Series S) and keep the traditional high end console (Series X).
Phil Spencer has said he’d like a handheld Xbox and Microsoft have been pushing some updates to Windows recently that would suggest they’re leaning in that direction.
@EighthLayer @innkeeper @brakeoutgaming sooo... An underpowered and less versatile ROG Ally, Lenovo Legion, and the like?
Maybe.
Who'd buy it, though? If they'd just refine the Windows handheld experience like Valve did for Linux, they'd already have several portable Xboxes.
@KSGamingLife @EighthLayer @brakeoutgaming right-o. And imagine if they went for a different store experience, abandoning the Windows Store and maybe, just maybe, something cross OS.
Native Game Pass on the various handhelds already out there (not necessarily running Windows)? Boom.
@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] that's the thing: if Microsoft abandoned the whole hardware scene and just made gamepass available on Linux (for real, not just the cloud gaming through internet explorer thing), you could make every screen in your house an Xbox. They could be printing money.
I totally expect them to do so very soon.
They already are, to some extent: if you just play game pass games and have a good connection, you don't need an Xbox, just your TV.
