According to rumors, the next Xbox could be released in two versions, one as a home console and the other as a handheld

For the past few hours, the Internet has been abuzz with rumors about the next Xbox and its potential variants. This time, a rumor is raising the possibility of a machine that could be available in two versions: one as a home console and the other as a portable console.

Indeed, on the Xbox News Cast podcast, MiddleAgeGameGuy spoke of the post-Xbox Series X/S future, claiming that a new console was being considered for release in 2026. He also suggested that it could be marketed in two distinct versions: a traditional gaming console similar to the Series X/S, and another, more affordable console that would be portable and dockable, like the Nintendo Switch.

According to these rumors, this console would be developed by Microsoft's Surface teams, and would benefit from integrated controls and a touch screen. It would also support cloud gaming and run Xbox titles natively. However, none of this has been officially confirmed, so it's best to take it with a grain of salt.
