Microsoft and Sony are reportedly developing handheld gaming devices, aiming to enter a market currently dominated by Nintendo and Valve’s Steam Deck. Phil Spencer, Microsoft’s gaming chief, has hinted at an Xbox handheld that would play games locally, not just stream them.

This approach suggests a device similar to the Steam Deck, capable of running a variety of games.

An interesting aspect of Microsoft’s strategy is the potential for their handheld to support PlayStation games. This possibility arises because Sony has been releasing its titles on PC, making them accessible beyond PlayStation consoles. If Microsoft’s handheld runs on a Windows-based system, it could theoretically support these PC versions of PlayStation games.

While these developments are exciting, it’s important to note that both companies are still in the early stages of development. Specific details about the hardware, software compatibility, and release timelines remain unclear. As such, it’s advisable to approach these rumors with caution until official announcements are made.

In summary, the gaming landscape is poised for significant changes as Microsoft and Sony explore handheld gaming options. The potential for cross-platform compatibility, especially with PlayStation games on an Xbox handheld, could offer gamers more flexibility and choice in how they play their favorite titles.

Ysmael

Ysmael “Eng” Delicana is a writer based in Davao City, Philippines. He earned his bachelor’s degree in economics at Ateneo de Davao University before continuing to teach part-time at the same university. While teaching was a fun gig, being a geek and a writer seemed to be his calling. His expertise includes fantasy shows and movies, comic books, the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and popular RPG video games. Ysmael also excels at learning new things and getting to know new topics that are interesting yet foreign to him, and that’s why he can also be called a jack of all trades. He also works as a part-time writer for books about sports. As an avid fan of fantasy TV shows, video games, and books, Ysmael is fond of watching, playing, and reading things related to fantasy, magic, and mystical creatures. However, he is also a huge fan of anime, as he spends a portion of his time watching shonen anime. As long as something is interesting and worth his time, Ysmael tends to devote his effort to it, as he has been great at geeking out about a certain topic. Ysmael’s writing style tends to be quite conversational in the sense that he likes speaking to the readers instead of making them feel like they are reading something tedious. He picked up this during his teaching years because he needed to find ways to simplify topics that tend to be foreign and complex to students. Ysmael also writes for Comic Basics.
