"While speaking with Fortune, Bond said, "Hardware is absolutely core to everything that we do at Xbox, because we know that our most valuable players, the people who love Xbox, love the hardware experience. That's why we're working on our next-generation hardware. It's going to be a powerful experience, and one that also enables people to take their library with them.""
"Bond shared her belief that players want the freedom to choose to play their games on Xbox, PC, or the cloud, and that the next Xbox will give them the option to do so. She made similar comments while promoting the ROG Xbox Ally in October. Although it's been expected that PlayStation 6 and the next Xbox will debut in 2027, a video game analyst has suggested that the recent Grand Theft Auto 6 delay could push both consoles to a 2028 debut."
"In the meantime, Microsoft recently made it easier for indie developers to make games for Xbox by releasing development documents. There has also been a strong response to the ROG Xbox Ally, which has led Asus to increase production for the handheld system. Microsoft will host a new Xbox Partner Preview on November 20, but it's not expected to have any news related to the next-gen Xbox console."
Microsoft is developing a next-generation Xbox console and maintains that hardware remains central to Xbox strategy despite rumors about exiting the hardware business. The next console is described as a powerful experience designed to enable players to take their game libraries with them. Players will have the flexibility to play on Xbox, PC, or via cloud services. PlayStation 6 and the next Xbox were expected in 2027, but an analyst suggested a Grand Theft Auto 6 delay could push both launches to 2028. Microsoft released development documents to help indie developers, and Asus increased ROG Xbox Ally production. A November 20 Xbox Partner Preview is scheduled without expected next-gen news.
