Xbox Handheld Is An Intriguing Idea To Phil Spencer
While Phil Spencer hasn’t outright confirmed an Xbox handheld is in the works, he sure seems intrigued by the idea. The Microsoft Gaming CEO chatted with Polygon about how he’s playing Xbox games on the go currently and shared his thoughts on how to improve the mobile experience.
For starters, Spencer wants current PC handhelds, specifically naming the Lenovo Legion Go, “to feel like an Xbox.” The Xbox head honcho said he brought the device with him to GDC, and he’s annoyed his save file doesn’t appear on Legion Go with Fallout 76 because there isn’t cross-save.
“I want to be able to boot into the Xbox app in a full screen, but in a compact mode,” Spencer said. “And all of my social [experience] is there. Like I want it to feel like the dash of my Xbox when I turn on the television. [Except I want it] on those devices,” like the Legion Go or ASUS Rog Ally.
