Microsoft should make a handheld.

[levitate]

A portable GamePass machine would be great.

If they could manage to put Xbox One-level graphics in a handheld I’d cop Day 1.

They are…

They are…

I’m talking full GamePass not just a few titles from Bussythesda.

Since we’re back in 2007
Is anyone excited for the iron man movie coming out next year?

I think XCloud is the portable GamePass solution you're referring to breh


Otherwise if you want to play those games natively while also being portable, SteamDeck is your best bet

Can’t you just use a surface and Xbox game pass streaming or what ever?

Why do they need a handheld when Game Pass can be played on phones right now?

Offline play, bigger screen, integrated controls, no need for a perfect internet connection, dedicated more powerful hardware…

Why release Surfaces when you can run Windows and Excel and shyt on other PC/tablets?

Microsoft is in the business of selling Game Pass. They never have needed a handheld and still don't. Like saying why doesn't Netflix make a dedicated streaming device when all Netflix wants is to sell you a streaming service.

A Surface is a productivity tool.

Comparing it to Netflix is misinformed at best…disingenuous at worst. Completely different technologies. GamePass games aren’t movies with no continuous, dynamic user input.

And a Surface is essentially no different than the plethora of other tablets that are out there… The “productivity” is in the software…
So if they can make a Surface to push their productivity software…they can make a handheld to further push GamePass. I mean…why even release the Series X if it’s JUST about GamePass…

Microsoft is not a good hardware making company.

And don’t get it twisted, I understand why they won’t make one…but that doesn’t prevent me from wanting one.
