Earlier this week, it was reported that Microsoft is working on an Xbox-branded gaming handheld that can compete with the Steam Deck. It was said that this project would be a joint venture with an unnamed PC gaming OEM. More information about this handheld has now emerged, revealing the OEM and a few other notable details.
In the report from Jez Corden of WindowsCentral, we learned that Microsoft will be enlisting the help of a major OEM — like ASUS, Lenovo, MSI, or Razer — for its PC gaming handheld codename “Project Keenan.” A new report from Tom Warren of The Verge has now clarified that the codename is actually “Project Kennan” and that the OEM developing the device will be ASUS.
