Microsoft apparently has some surprises in store for the Xbox Game Showcase
As reported by well-known leaker eXtas1s on YouTube, Microsoft is preparing to reveal an Xbox handheld during the Xbox Games Showcase. The original report is in Spanish, but a Reddit user has translated eXtas1s’ video, which says Microsoft will tease the “Xbox Portable” later this week. The report doesn’t give us any more details than that, but a handheld Xbox console has been rumored for some time now. Back in March, Xbox boss Phil Spencer discussed his love for handheld systems, fueling the speculation even further.
Alongside that, eXstas1s also suggests that Microsoft plans to shadow-drop something from its first-party catalog during the show. We don’t know what will be dropped yet, and likely won’t until the Showcase, but it’ll reportedly be something everyone is expecting to see from Xbox’s upcoming line-up of games and DLC.
Don’t forget that a Call of Duty Direct will be live immediately after the Xbox Games Showcase, giving us our first look at Call of Duty Black Ops 6, which Microsoft has confirmed will join Xbox Game Pass at launch.
