Hold onto your gaming chairs, ladies and gentlemen, because the rumor mill is churning out a doozy. The tech gossip grapevine suggests that the Switch 2, poised on the precipice of its grand debut, might not be the only show in town. Apparently, Microsoft is planning to crash the party with a new Xbox handheld, set to make its grand entrance ‘later in 2025’ according to an exclusive from Windows Central.

If the rumor proves true, the Switch 2 and the new Xbox handheld could be set for a clash of titans. With both making their entrance in 2025, gamers will have a tough choice to make. Will they side with the tried and tested Switch or take a gamble on the new Xbox handheld? Only time will tell.
