MICROSOFT: next Xbox set to be biggest tech leap ever

Feb 16, 2024 10:17 AM

Microsoft has teased the gaming community with details about the next Xbox, which is promised to be a major leap forward in console technology. Amidst speculation that Microsoft might cease producing its own consoles to focus more on games and Game Pass, this update confirms the company's commitment to hardware development. While there's no release date set for the new Xbox, Microsoft also announced that new console and controller options will be available later this year. These updates might include a disc-less version of the Xbox Series X, as per rumors.

In a strategic shift, Microsoft plans to bring four of its first-party games to other consoles during the year. Specific titles haven't been disclosed, but leaks suggest Hi-Fi Rush, Sea of Thieves, and possibly Gears of War could be among them. Additionally, Game Pass subscribers have something to look forward to with Diablo 4 joining Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass next month.

What new console and controller options is Microsoft planning to release?

Microsoft has hinted at potentially releasing new hardware options by the end of the year, including a possible variant of the Xbox Series X without a disc drive. Exact details are not yet available, but updates are expected to be announced soon.

The Xbox has been an integral part of Microsoft's gaming division since its inception in 2001. With each console release, from the original Xbox to the Xbox Series X and S, Microsoft has aimed to push the boundaries of what a home gaming console can do, with a strong emphasis on improving graphics capabilities, loading times, and game variety. The introduction of Xbox Game Pass has also been a game-changer in how players access and enjoy a diverse library of games. With the announcement of the next Xbox generation, gamers eagerly anticipate how Microsoft will shape the future of console gaming.
