🍷 Xbox Can Keep A New Console, I Just Want The Handheld
Given the choice between a next-gen Xbox and an Xbox handheld, I'll pick the handheld eve♚ry time.
It'll boast AMD processors, 16GB of RAM at minimum, plus an SSD for storage purposes, . It'll also be able to play games beyond what's available on 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Game Pass, as it'll support PC storefronts, AKA, Steam. Of course, given that Steam has 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:PlayStation games for purchase, it begs wondering if Sony games wiꦺll be playable on the handheld. According to a new inte💦rview, it seems that'll be the case.

, the journalist went hands-on with the upcoming handheld, which has been given a Holiday 2025 launch window. Beyond detailing his experience with the handheld, Totilo asked a Microsoft represen♈tative if it'd be able to run PlayStation games, to which the rep r🔯eplied:
"Because these handhelds run Windows, you have a💖ccess to all the games you can play on Windows PCs."
In other words, yes.
It's a rather matter-of-fact statement that doesn't mention Sony or PlayStation by name, but essentially answers the question at hand.

Now, it seems we𝔉 have our answer, at least until one party says otherwise. Yes, the handheld will be able to play some PlayS♉tation games. After all, it is an Xbox, right?
