Jun 17, 2025 6:33 PM

Microsoft is collaborating with AMD to develop next-generation Xbox consoles, but fans may have to wait until 2027 for their debut. While the partnership aims to improve graphics and gameplay quality, it hints at two types of devices: a traditional console for living rooms and a potential handheld option. This commitment to future hardware development reinforces Microsoft's intention to not abandon the console market amidst its multi-platform strategy. Xbox president Sarah Bond emphasized the focus on backward compatibility, enhancing visuals, and AI-powered gameplay, promising a seamless experience that allows gamers to enjoy their library on various devices.

What can we expect from Microsoft’s next-gen Xbox consoles?

Expect significant advancements in graphics and gameplay due to Microsoft’s partnership with AMD. The consoles are anticipated to feature backward compatibility and a potential handheld device, offering gamers a versatile and immersive experience across multiple platforms.

Microsoft’s Xbox brand has a storied history in the gaming industry, originally launching in 2001 with the original Xbox console. The Series X and Series S, released in late 2020, marked the latest generation of home gaming consoles. With their next major release slated beyond 2025, Microsoft continues to innovate while addressing the needs of its diverse gaming community.

A handheld Xbox could finally give the Steam Deck some real competition, and I'm here for that rivalry. Also, backward compatibility staying a priority is a huge win for anyone with a massive game library.
