Rumors of an Xbox PC gaming handheld have surfaced thanks to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). No, we’re not talking about the device Phil Spencer hinted at that’s still years away.

From thrilling game updates to unexpected pope announcements, this week has been a whirlwind of excitement and surprises in the world of gaming and beyond. Who knows what the next week will bring? Stay tuned for more updates and juicy tidbits in the days to come.
