Don’t worry, Xbox is staying in hardware. Microsoft execs confirmed during its Official Xbox Podcast that the next-generation hardware will have huge « technical leaps. »
Somehow it’s been just over three years since the Xbox Series X launched. But here we are! It’s not surprising that Microsoft is already looking ahead toward its fifth-generation console; these things take a long time to develop. But the company officially acknowledged development on Thursday in its Official Xbox Podcast, where Xbox president Sarah Bond said Microsoft is targeting “the largest technical leap you will have ever seen in a hardware generation, which makes it better for players and better for creators and the visions they’re building.”
She continued: “We’re also invested in the next-generation roadmap.” Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer also spoke to The Verge in an interview published alongside the podcast, where he teased the “unique aspects” of future Xbox hardware.
“I’m very proud of the work that the hardware team is doing, not only for this year but also into the future,” Spencer said.
