Sure thing! Here’s my take on it:

So, here’s the scoop, or at least what got stuck in my head today. I mean, we’re all kinda buzzing about Microsoft’s gaming gadgets, right? Or maybe it’s just me. Anyway — wait, no — this is actually pretty wild. So, there’s this talk that Microsoft might be side-eyeing its first-party Xbox handheld project. Yup, they might just shove it to the back of the closet. Why, you ask? Well, they’ve set their sights on jazzing up Windows 11 handhelds, thanks to some third-party love from Asus. The one they’re calling ‘Kennan’ — sounds like a secret code, doesn’t it? Spooky.
And here’s the kicker: folks are buzzing about how folks have been rocking these handhelds with SteamOS, which is cozy with Windows 11. I guess people just love their gadgets performing like race cars. There are some trade-offs though—like waving goodbye to Game Pass support. But maybe that’s a small price? Who knows.
But hold up, backtracking a bit. In case you’ve been living under a rock—or just not obsessed with gaming gossip—Microsoft had this grand plan. They were playing with the idea of not one but multiple handheld contraptions. A purely Microsoft baby and then the Asus collab. The secret whispers call it “Project Kennan.” Supposedly strutting to a store near you later this year. Fingers crossed, right?
Windows Central’s been dropping hints that “Kennan’s” all ready to rumble. The gear’s practically done. Guess we’ll see how that pans out. Meanwhile, those first-party dreams of a native Xbox vibe are taking a nap. Sad, huh?
I get it, though. Ever since Windows 11 slid into the handheld world, it’s been a whole new ball game. SteamOS entered the chat and things got spicy. It’s more than just the Lenovo Legion Go S—it’s like a handheld Havoc. Not to mention the Asus ROG Ally, they’re both fighting for our love. SteamOS is pretty slick with performance, but hey, Windows 11 is like inviting the Windows ecosystem over for tea.
