I’ve been writing about video games, television and movies for Forbes for over 10 years, and you may have seen my reviews on Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic. I cover all manner of console and PC games, but if it’s about looting or shooting, I’m definitely there. If I’m watching something, it’s usually science fiction, horror or superheroic.

Xbox is always telling us it wants us to play Xbox games anywhere, and that might about to become very literal.says that Microsoft is getting ready to debut new handheld Xbox hardware at its Xbox Games Showcase on Sunday, June 9, a fill-in for what may have used to have been a big E3 show around this time. So if there was ever a place to do it, it’s probably there.

In March, Phil Spencer said the team had been exploring “different hardware form factors” implying the Xbox may evolve beyond boxes like the Series X and S, and the most likely avenue for that is mobile, as Spencer talked about using his Lenovo Legion Go on an airplane, and the heavy implication is that this is something he wants to pursue.

It of course makes a ton of sense, given both Xbox’s stated philosophy of where it wants its games played, its ability to do game streaming, and the runaway success of a handheld like the Nintendo Switch.However, what form this takes may make or break the entire concept. PlayStation introduced the PS Portal this year, but that has somewhat limited, tethered streaming capabilities and is far from a true handheld like the Switch.
