Microsoft Executive Confirms Participation in Event on the Future of Handheld Consoles. The Company Plans a Portable Xbox for the Next Generation.
The event “Lenovo Legion x AMD: The Future of Gaming Handhelds” will feature Jason Ronald, Xbox’s Vice President of Devices and Gaming Ecosystem. The conference will be held in Las Vegas on January 7, 2025.
Recently, Phil Spencer, the head of Microsoft’s gaming division, told Bloomberg that the company is working on a portable Xbox console, but it will take a few years before it’s released.
Jason Ronald’s participation may signal that Microsoft wants to strengthen its presence in the portable or remote console market.
It’s expected that Lenovo will announce its own console, the Legion Go, which will run on the SteamOS operating system.
In the race for leadership in the portable market, Nintendo is likely to announce the Nintendo Switch 2 soon, due to the numerous leaks about the new hardware.
Valve will be Lenovo’s special guest at a gaming handheld event. Xbox’s Jason Ronald will also be appearing, and he’s now “VP of Next Generation” 👀 https://t.co/4dkqukV0GX
