This machine would apparently not be a device developed directly by the video game giant, but a handheld PC (like Asus Rog or Steam Deck) manufactured by another manufacturer and bearing the brand as well as all the official Xbox support.

It seems strange but it would allow Microsoft to test the market and especially the software developments associated with this kind of hardware.
