![Phil Spencer's Xbox Series S Travelled With Him To ActiBlizz Court Hearing 2](https://images.purexbox.com/82aa009349e59/phil-spencers-xbox-series-s-travelled-with-him-to-actiblizz-court-hearing-2.900x.jpg)
There may well be lots of serious business talk going down at these Activision Blizzard court proceedings, but it doesn't seem to be stopping Phil Spencer from playing games. The Xbox boss has made sure he can squeeze in some precious gaming time this week, by packing in his Xbox Series S and an xScreen attachment on his travels to Europe.
What is he playing you may ask? As it turns out, the man seems to be enjoying Hi-Fi RUSH on his portable Xbox setup.
Look, sometimes you've just got to de-stress haven't you! We're sure it's not easy going through round after round of talks with Sony and the likes, so it's probably a sound idea to pack in that Xbox Series S for travelling. The UPspec xScreen attachment is a great companion for it as well!
As for what's actually been going down at this week's EU court hearing? Well, quite a lot actually. While Sony is seemingly still against signing any sort of deal, Microsoft has made agreements with both Nintendo and Nvidia this week regarding the future of Activision Blizzard titles under potential Xbox ownership.
Do you travel often with your Xbox Series S? Let us know in the comments down below!

Lmao what a guy. All this stuff going on in Brussels and he still finds the time to game.
I don’t believe him
Gotta get me one of those little screens lol
Edit: just checked the price and eh, not going to grab it for $200. It is cool though.
If he is playing in his hotel room why doesn’t just hook it up on the tv there?
Dam I thought he meant the new Series S special COD EDITION 😂😂😂
does he have people carry his luggage or he's always driving in a limo? Otherwise its kinda heavy to carry series S everywhere you go, specially if you have to go places by feet
What i want to say is that its not really portable to take with you on Metro! Microsoft should release a handheld than can play all Xbox One/stream games, to play on the go.
Does anyone have one of those screens? I'm very temped to get one.
@Bobesz it can be an hotel as much as his private jet
If it’s up to him alone, would not be shocked to see a mid-Gen refresh where the Series S becomes a laptop-style device and the Series X shrinks down.
The future is that “keystone” cloud gaming dongle that he had on his shelf but will not produce yet… now that Stadia is gone…
I did this summer and hooked it up to a huge 4k tv on an apartment we got for our holiday. It worked like a charm. Actually finished a playthrough of guardians of the galaxy on my series s and it was great. Sure it stuttered from time to time and the resolution was half of what I’m used to but it still plays and works fine. I could have taken the series x but who wants to carry that big lug around? Definitely wins in the portability factor!
Why is Phil traveling with a Series S instead of using Xcloud???? Like....that's what it's FOR.....
@Tharsman Also, I would looooove a laptop XSS, but IDK that a battery could reasonably power it. Not without it becoming the size of a PS5 anyway.
@NEStalgia I don’t think it’s ir realistic to make a XSS Laptop-like-device, much more powerful gaming laptops exist. Their battery lives are rarely stellar but the expectation is always that you will find a outlet to plug them into.
They could even add a keyboard, if only for the few games that support mouse and keyboard play (like Age or Empires.)
The biggest problem is the thing would likely not be very cheap, making its viability as a mass-produced product a sketchy one.
I hace a laptop that i would not be shocked if it had better specs than the Series S, and it’s rather small. It vents via the keyboard, a strange design that makes it not very sick-friendly (it will melt if you try to run a game with the lid closed.) it cost me almost 2k, though.
Edit (final edit) to add: it cost me exactly 2k in 2021, sports a mobile 3080 and is very thin for such a device. Name is ASUS - ROG Zephyrus 15.6" QHD Gaming Laptop
@Tharsman Yeah I was going to say gaming laptops have a battery but you can't actually use them for games.
Eh, I mean Series S is already cheaper than a Switch. Add a screen, battery, keyboard, the price goes up but probably not up to Series X level. But I still think the battery just makes the whole thing impractical, and you really might as well skip the battery if you're going to have to plug it in in reality anyway. And once you get to that point...we come back to.....why not just use xcloud instead of some crazy console-clamshell thing.....and get Series X graphics anyway.... if it can't compete with Switch's market, it definitely doesn't need to be made, especially when MS tells us cloud is the future, and it's costing us $15/mo
@Baler Well, we know he is overseas right now, and his gamertag shows that he was playing Hi-Fi Rush and Elden Ring yesterday and Vampire Survivors today (the man is hooked with Vampire Survivors....)
Steam Deck is my gaming travel companion of choice by now, but being the Xbox boss this totally suits him.
@Wheatly cloud gaming isnt for everyone you need a servere in your country and great internet connection...cloud gaming is a good addition but it will be an important feature in the future, and everyone is trying to get a foothold in that future....so guys dont be as low IQ as ps fans are, instead of thinking with logic like a grown man you go to make some statement just to get likes or you just dont want to use your mind cells...dont fair they wont explode
@Wheatly making excuses? If cloud gaming was a most it will be the leading at marketing and actually charging people for the service not adding it as extra when you get gamepass, cliud gaming is a gimmick and microsoft treat it like that its the CMA that make of it abig deal because again cloud gaming is the future (when lag isnt a thing)
+how do you know if thats not his private ket or he like to game while traveling 5 hours in the sky?
So your his secretary?
@Wheatly as a xbox fan im having enough of people critisizing xbox for everything even for a tweet while other platforms ia getting a premuim pass for everything
If poeple criticize at least they should be logical
@Wheatly
ok so you say i defend cloud gaming....when obviously i say its a gimmick and its a thing for the future...how is that defending, well seem like im not taking back calling you low IQ
insane amount? ok for the sake of logic give me the numbers.
critisizing a company when it does something poorly.....so tell who is doing cloud gaming better than microsoft...if you critisize them there should be someone your comparing them to? ps now? geforce now? stedia?
listen Mister cloud gaming is an additional service and it was never treated as the protagonist by Microsoft marketing im following every news for +20 years now ...
and of course if your up in a plane forget about streaming games
have a nice day and please try to use your brain and dont say things thats far from logic or a lie
@Gamingforlife Why do you care so much if someone criticises a corporation on the Internet?
@Wheatly cloud gaming in gamepass is the best in market you dont like gamepass you can always subscribe to ps extra for 15$ to play some old games and use PS now
@Rangers420 i care if anyone was critisized without a logical reason...i see what he said as love to hate and im not a big fan of that treat
@Gamingforlife I just wish mcc was on the switch. A win for everyone
@Baler getting halo into nintendo is quite difficult if gamepass isnt on nintendo but i can see bathesda games keeps coming to switch1 or switch 2
Some people seem to be real salty over cloud gaming.
