Handheld Console With Xbox Brand Leaked Image Seemingly Confirms 2025 Release Window

Ever since the rumors of an Xbox handheld started spreading on the internet, it has become a hot topic of discussion in the gaming community. They were obviously rumors that were to be taken with a grain of salt, but now the case seems the opposite, and the Xbox-branded handheld is all but officially confirmed by the companies themselves.

The next hardware from Xbox is not a next-generation console or a mid-gen refresh similar to the PlayStation 5 Pro. Reports popped up earlier this year indicating a partnership between Xbox and Asus to create a brand new handheld device, and now, images have leaked of the new Asus ROG Ally 2 with an Xbox button.

very recently. Seems like they couldn’t keep their tracks clean after all. But once it’s officially confirmed, it could stand as a potential threat to the PlayStation Portal, and handhelds could be the area where Xbox ultimately dominates over PlayStation.
