Leaked Images Reveal ASUSs Possible Portable Xbox Console Collaboration with Microsoft

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United States inadvertently released images of two versions of the ASUS ROG Ally 2 portable gaming device. One of the images (the black one) features a barely visible button bearing the Xbox logo, suggesting a potential collaboration between Microsoft and ASUS on a project tentatively titled Project Kennan, which would see the launch of a handheld console under the Xbox brand.

According to a leak shared by [VideoCardz](https://videocardz.com/newz/asus-rog-ally-2-and-rog-ally-2-xbox-edition-gaming-handhelds-leaked), the black variant of the device is powered by an 8-core AMD Ryzen Z2 Extreme processor, while the white version utilizes a 4-core AMD Aerith Plus. The primary distinction lies in the subtly placed X button on the black model, which indirectly supports the claims of a joint initiative between Microsoft and ASUS.

Previously, there had been rumors that Microsoft was developing a portable device with an interface similar to the Xbox console. This is anticipated to be part of a new Xbox PC platform that aims to merge Windows capabilities with Microsoft’s gaming services.

Insiders indicate that the official unveiling could take place during Computex 2025 on May 20, where ASUS typically showcases its latest devices. Concurrently, Microsoft might announce gaming features for Windows 11 at the Build 2025 conference on May 19.

It should be noted that Project Kennan is not intended to replace a full-fledged handheld console from Microsoft, which is expected to be released no earlier than 2027. The ASUS device will likely support games from the Microsoft Store, Steam, and other platforms, but may not include all Xbox exclusives.

Currently, there have been no official statements from Microsoft or ASUS. We hope that both companies will provide more detailed information soon.
