You know all that chatter about Xbox and whether it was doing ok earlier this year? Well, coming out of GDC, it seems we’re dipping back into the whole ‘what’s going on with Microsoft’s gaming division’ debate. Phil Spencer’s seemingly still focused on handhelds, but it’s the company’s other hardware that some publishers are reportedly worrying about.
If you’re out of the loop, Xbox ended up doing a kinda weird podcast about that state of the company and its plans for the future back in, er, oh my god, it was only last month. Shortly after that, four Xbox games made their way onto PS5, Switch or both, while the likes of Indiana Jones and the Great Circle and Starfield were confirmed to be staying put for now.
Now, in an update of sorts on his liked tweets from the other month, Spencer’s said some more stuff about the idea of an Xbox handheld and what it might be like – with recent reports having claimed it’s working on a “fully native” one. The key thing, it seems, is how to make a handheld feel like an Xbox, in line with the console maker’s current buzz phrase that every screen can be an Xbox.
