Whispers about a potential Xbox handheld have been circulating for a while, and now Asus has ignited the excitement by releasing a teaser video on its platform, previously known as Twitter. In this intriguing clip, we see an animated robot making improvements on a terminal. Just as it’s on the brink of updating its system, a device resembling an ROG Ally X gaming console, accompanied by an ROG Raikiri Pro controller, makes its dramatic entrance. The dust settles to reveal the mysterious robot morphing into what could be Asus’ newest high-end handheld.
The plot thickens with a playful nudge from the official Xbox account, which chimed in with a cheeky side-eye meme response. Although nothing has been officially confirmed yet, this interaction hints at Project Kennan—a collaborative effort between Microsoft and Asus aimed at blending Xbox and Windows into one seamless gaming platform.
Even though specifics are still under wraps, the teaser does offer some insights into what we might expect from the upcoming Xbox handheld. Improvements like extended battery life, enhanced performance, and increased storage are among the highlights. Plus, there might be a snazzy new design to look forward to.
To avoid any confusion with April Fool’s pranks, Asus strategically released the video on March 31, 2025, at 2 pm EST. Given that the technology world loves its pranks this time of year, the timing seems intentional. But harking back to the similar tone of the ROG Ally reveal on April 1 a few years ago, this time it looks like their Xbox console teaser is the real deal.
Interesting timing aside, it’s crucial to note the anticipated announcement of the Switch 2 during Nintendo Direct on April 2. Asus might be attempting to overshadow Nintendo’s big news. While the Asus announcement may stir curiosity among PC and handheld gaming fans, it’s unlikely to shift die-hard Nintendo fans from their allegiances.
While we’re not holding our breath for a new Xbox console until 2027, the potential introduction of an ‘Xbox handheld’ could win over gamers. The dream scenario is for this device to support Xbox games directly, rather than just functioning as a Windows 11 device dressed up in Xbox-themed attire.
