This week is quite busy in the video game industry with the arrival of the PS5 Pro tomorrow and the information surrounding the Switch 2 coming one after the other from Nintendo. Let’s not forget Microsoft and Xbox who are more discreet, but who also seem to be preparing certain things. According to a journalist, the portable Xbox which would aim to highlight Cloud Gaming is well on the way from the Redmond firm.
A portable Xbox to rival the PS Portal?
Last year, Sony released the PlayStation Portal, a portable accessory intended to play remotely on PS5wherever you are in the world. If upon its announcement, very few players were excited by the proposition, it is quite interesting to see that the PS Portal is a real success far exceeding Sony’s expectations.
For its part, Microsoft is also preparing a response and has been for several years. The rumors are starting to spread more and more regarding the portable Xbox. Recently, it was once again the journalist Jez Corden who spoke on the subject during a new podcast « The Xbox Two » on the Rand al Thor 19 channel.
According to the journalist, his sources confirmed to him that Microsoft would present new hardware next year. Still according to the latter, it would be “mobile” equipment allowing it to be transported to take it everywhere with us. Like the Switch, the player would have the possibility of “placing on a table” the famous console.
Everything suggests that Microsoft is indeed preparing a portable Xbox that lets you play all your games anywhere. As a reminder, the American firm should begin tests this November to expand the possibilities of Cloud Gaming in order to be able to play a selection of games that are not part of Xbox Game Pass.
Still according to Jez, this new console should not be announced this yearor even at the Game Awards. Everything suggests that Microsoft is targeting Summer Game Fest and the traditional period of June.
