Rumors are going around as people get more and more excited about Microsoft’s upcoming announcement this weekend. Many people are guessing that Microsoft might be getting ready to start making portable devices. This idea came up after Phil Spencer, who leads Xbox, showed that he likes a message on Twitter saying that it’s very likely Microsoft will make a handheld device.
Microsoft is set to make a major announcement this weekend. There are plenty of rumors about what they will announce, but one of them seems to make more sense than others. There is a lot of speculation that Microsoft will enter the handheld gaming market.
The rumors gained traction after Xbox head Phil Spencer liked several tweets on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter). He liked tweets discussing the potential for a Microsoft-made handheld device, with some expressing frustration with the current Windows experience on existing handhelds like the ROG Ally. One tweet Spencer liked stated that a Microsoft handheld was “inevitable.”
Microsoft’s upcoming announcement, scheduled for February 18th, 2024, during their Inside Xbox podcast, is expected to focus on the future of the company. This timing and Spencer’s Twitter activity have led many to believe a new handheld device could be revealed.
It’s important to note that these are just rumors and speculation at this point. Microsoft has not officially confirmed any plans to enter the handheld market. However, this rumor seems to have a lot of evidence if liking tweets is to be believed. With the success of devices like the Nintendo Switch and Steam Deck, it’s clear that gamers are hungry for powerful, portable gaming experiences. Only time will tell if Microsoft intends to answer that call.
