Microsoft is actively developing new prototypes of the Xbox portable game console. About this on the Xbox Two podcast stated Windows Central journalist Jez Corden.
According to Corden, the prototypes are not related to the previous versions that were previously rumored and are devices with local hardware rather than cloud-based solutions. The journalist emphasized that the existence of prototypes does not guarantee their entry into the market and pointed out that they are currently in the testing and evaluation phase.
He also noted that the current handheld console market is showing significant growth, which could encourage Microsoft to launch its own device.
