New XBox handheld comes with Microsoft Teams and OneDrive [1]

['Rob Beschizza']

Date: 2025-10-16  

With Sony selling two PlayStation 5s for every XBox, Microsoft has made efforts to broaden the brand to cover PC gaming, still thoroughly dominated by Windows. But Windows 11 is a decidedly bleak affair and not at all designed with gaming in mind. A good example: the latest XBox handheld comes with Microsoft Teams, OneDrive, and a solid selection of its other business-class surveillance bloatware.

As one poster put it, 'They're pivoting pretty quickly from "Everything is an Xbox" to "Every Xbox is a thing your boss can monitor you on."'

Someone should bring up the keyboard and see if StickyKeys is enabled on their $1000 handheld game console.
