The gaming world is once again on the move. According to the latest news, Microsoft is working on a new portable game console that will replace the Xbox Series S.

Microsoft is working on a handheld console to replace the Xbox Series S
Microsoft is making strides toward a portable gaming console, as Phil Spencer has long hinted, but it won’t be a cloud-only gaming device like the Sony PlayStation Portal.
On the contrary, it will have the capacity to play games locally. This means that you will be able to play your favorite games on the device even if there is no internet connection. It will be a very attractive option, especially for those who travel or cannot be online at all times.
While the Series S currently sits in the Xbox ecosystem as an affordable and powerful alternative, this model could gradually fade into the background as a portable device steps in. Interestingly, Microsoft has no plans to develop a device to compete with the PlayStation 5 Pro.
The company will continue to compete in the market this year with its 1TB Xbox Series S and 2TB Series X models, but it has no plans to release a more powerful model to replace a device like the PS5 Pro.
It’s a matter of curiosity how the new portable Xbox console will affect the gaming world. What do you think about it? You can write your opinions in the comments section below.
