I understand the Xbox work that has hit the headlines this week is actually called Project Kennan, not Keenan. I’m told that Kennan is the codename for a handheld that is being manufactured by Asus, and it’s part of a larger effort from Microsoft to unify Windows and Xbox towards a universal library of Xbox and PC games.

Those rumors about Microsoft making it own Xbox handheld may have been hasty, but we could see the Xbox version of SteamOS instead.

Earlier this week, it was reported that Microsoft was planning the release of an Xbox handheld that’s set to launch sometime in 2025, and it looks like that handheld is going to be manufactured by ASUS.
