Microsoft stopped working on its portable Xbox gaming device for the moment. The company wants to make Windows 11 run better on handheld computers first. SteamOS performs much better than Windows on portable gaming systems right after launch. Microsoft plans to fix software problems before building new hardware. The Asus handheld project continues without any changes from this decision.
Project Kennan appeared in government documents from the Federal Communications Commission recently. The leaked papers showed AMD AERITH Plus chips with 4 processing cores and 16GB memory. Some reports suggest Microsoft might use the newer AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme processor instead. The handheld device could use up to 20 watts of power during gaming. Officials have not confirmed the final technical specifications for the portable system.
Xbox fans might see the handheld revealed at the Game Showcase event on June 8. The presentation starts at 10 am Pacific Time for viewers across America. Microsoft will show many new games during the livestream event. Titles like Gears of War and Fable will appear during the showcase. The Outer Worlds 2 gets a separate presentation after the main event ends.
