Xbox President, Sarah Bondrecently confirmed the next generation of Xbox, reassuring fans as rumors of its cancellation mounted. Now we have more information that suggests that the new Xbox will indeed be very different from the current generation in many ways.
She gave an interview for the Mashable YouTube channel, which discussed not only the recently released handheld. ROG Xbox allybut we were also talking about the new generation of Xbox, which is supposed to have a powerful chip AMD Magnus. This Xbox is supposed to be a very premium product.
“The next generation console will be premium and high-end. You’re starting to see some ideas that we have in our portable device (ROG Xbox Ally), but we don’t want to give them all away.” says Bond.
The fact that the new Xbox will likely deviate from the current form of consoles points to Microsoft’s new strategy. It no longer competes with rival PlayStation, but goes its own way. I’m trying to turn on games all possible devicespushing Game Pass and Xbox Play Anywhere Programwhere with a single copy you can access the game on any supported device in the Xbox ecosystem, such as console, PC, handheld and cloud. So, according to all these reports, the new generation will be closer to a PC than a traditional console. And that’s probably a good thing. PlayStation won’t catch up in sales, so there’s no point in competing.
If the new Xbox is truly going to be a premium product, it’s likely that it will be. hybrid between a PC and a console, that is, a box with fixed hardware, but with an operating system more open to the possibilities we know from the PC. After all, Sarah hinted that some of the things the ROG Xbox Ally can do, the new Xbox can do too. This probably meant, for example, the ability to play games from other stores. Steam or GOG. This will provide the player with an enhanced gaming experience without having to rely solely on the console versions. Also, the player could play more with the graphics settings and customize the gameplay to suit his image, but it would still be fixed hardware and console games would be adapted for it.
So who is the new Xbox suitable for? Of course, for owners and fans of the current Xbox, since they will not lose their library and will thus gain additional features under their account. If it were truly a console/PC hybrid, but at a more affordable price, it could appeal to people who don’t want to spend significantly more on a PC, but at the same time don’t want to be tied to just console versions of games and want more freedom. It also depends on the price, but the term “premium product” definitely does not mean a console. 500 euros. I’d prefer to see it for at least $900 and up, but I’m just guessing. Whether Microsoft has plans for a weaker, cheaper model remains to be seen.
When will the new Xbox come out? Unofficially expected in 2027.
