portable Xbox 360 handheld

If you’re part of the Xbox community, you know already that many people are asking Microsoft for an Xbox handheld. While we imagined multiple times the possibility of such a console, the tech giant might finally release one in the next two years,

However, until then, you should know that there are Xbox enthusiasts who were enthusiastic enough to build their own Xbox portable: in this case, a portable Xbox 360 handheld using the old console’s parts, as well as recycled cables, speakers, controller buttons, and batteries to forge it.

Victor Sanchez, a popular YouTuber in the world of tech and gaming and an Xbox enthusiast, has taken the matter into his own hands and has documented the process of building the portable Xbox 360 handheld on the platform in 5 parts.

The last part, which you can watch below, is where the magic happens. Sanchez wires up the cables, peripherals, and buttons before encasing the brute console into a beautiful Xbox 360-themed design.portable Xbox 360 handheld

How did he do it? You have all five parts on YouTube. Still, we’ll give a clue: he bent the Xbox 360’s motherboard in half to reduce its size, equipped it with recycled heatsinks and a fan, added some SSDs, made some changes to the coils and capacitors, added a screen, some batteries, some peri[herals, two speakers, buttons, and a case, and there you go.

By the end of the process, Sanchez comfortably plays some classic video games on his new portable Xbox 360 handheld console. It’s fascinating to watch.portable Xbox 360 handheld

The last part of the video made almost 1 million views in just 5 days, and if we are to take anything from it is that people do want a portable Xbox handheld.

Phil Spencer said that the future of Xbox will eventually include a handheld console. Should Microsoft take some notes from Victor Sanchez?
