Because I think they're trying to make the PC handheld more friendly because again, let's be real. You already said it, Greg. The Steam Deck is the dope right now. That's the one. That's my preferred handheld that I use. Windows handhelds are too clunky. I don't like the UI. It's too cumbersome. I would rather play games on my Steam Deck. So they need to make Windows handhelds more user-friendly.

And I think that's the goal this year. So we'll obviously see, I'm assuming at Summer Game Fest or whatever, they'll debut this thing and we'll see what it is. But whatever this ASUS handheld's going to be, Windows handhelds will be able to do the same thing as far as a UI goes. Because like I said, you're essentially playing PC games on there, right? So PC Game Pass, stuff like that.

I'm more excited for the 2027 one, kind of like you were already saying. That's the one, even though it seems like it's far away, to what Blessing was just saying, as far as price and all that. But I'm more curious about, all right, what is the screen size going to look like? What is the battery life going to look like? What is performance is going to look like?

Because if you think about it, Phil has kind of already hinted that they're not really subsidizing these things anymore. So I do expect it to be expensive. And I also think with this new multi-platform strategy, the handheld is probably going to be more desirable than the console, in my opinion, unless you're tied into Game Pass or something like that. You know what I mean?

So I'm not expecting it to be cheap. It's probably going to be pricey. But I think 2027 gives them time for more of a proof of concept. Let's see what this one does. Let's see what the Switch 2 does from a performance standpoint, because I'm assuming the Switch 2 is probably going to use some form of DLSS. So I'm assuming whatever this Xbox handheld will do some form of FSR as well.

So to kind of increase performance and then have better battery life, things like that. So there's still a lot of questions. you know, to ask, you know, that still need to be answered about this. And I think 2025 is just step one in a long form process, which is probably why we're not getting Xbox's version of his handheld until the next gen, which we're assuming now is 2027.

Yeah, don't get me wrong. I mean, you know, I'm a tech junkie. So like you said, I'm probably buying a day one anyways. But I think for the average person, if you already have a Legion 2 or a Rogue Ally or something, you may not necessarily need to run out and go get this one. Or if you love your Steam Deck, you probably just stick with your Steam Deck in the short term.

And again, wait until 2027 to see whatever this Xbox branded handheld is going to be.

Thank you. Love you guys. See you soon. I will see you Monday with my son. Bring him in the studio.

I can answer that question. Thank you very much. Because, look, I'm shamelessly going to say we also talked to Phil Spencer as well.
