To stand out, Xbox should focus on seamless cloud integration, an extensive game library, and innovative hardware design that enhances portability.

Xbox should develop exclusive handheld-first titles or experiences, much like the Switch has done. While Game Pass is great, unique content designed for the handheld would make it feel indispensable rather than just a secondary device. Another strategy they can try is competing on price. If Xbox can offer a high-quality handheld at a price point undercutting both the Steam Deck and the OLED Switch, it could gain significant traction, especially among budget-conscious gamers.
