Portable Xbox, concept while waiting for the real one

Microsoft has confirmed that a portable Xbox is in the works. While we wait to find out what it will look like, designers are already using their talents to give us some clues.

Portable consoles seem to be regaining their prestige. The Nintendo Switch hybrid has worked very well to the point that its successor Switch 2 has now been officially announced (see our news Nintendo Switch 2 officially unveiled), and the "PC consoles" (Asus ROG Ally X, Lenovo Legion Go S, Steam Deck, etc.), with impressive sales figures, are now blooming like crocuses in spring.

D-pad inspired by Xbox joypads££££

We are therefore very curious to know what a portable Xbox, already officially announced, could bring while waiting for news this year. In the meantime, let's take a look at what it could look like via a concept signed by designer Reynard Seah. In keeping with Microsoft's philosophy, this version adopts a design that is both simple and functional, with a beautiful 16/10 screen and rounded edges that are apparently pleasant to the touch. The D-pad has that angular feel that's typical of Elite controllers, and the overall ergonomics seem to be inspired by the beloved Xbox joypads.
