Big emphasis on «may.»<\/b>
\nThere have been whispers of a new Xbox console on the horizon. While Microsoft hasn’t explicitly stated that a new Xbox is on the way, we’ve heard whispers that the company is planning something with its gaming hardware. Yes, despite letting go of its exclusives and going for a cross-platform strategy, Microsoft isn’t going to duck out of hardware anytime soon.
Now, we’ve heard a hint that there might be plans to release a new Xbox sometime in 2027. And while the hint doesn’t outright confirm that one will arrive, it does come from a very reputable source.
AMD hints that a new Xbox may arrive in 2027<\/p>\n

Although nothing definitive has been confirmed just yet<\/p>\n

As spotted by The Verge, the CEO of AMD, Lisa Su, has confirmed that the company is prepping for a potential console release. The last time we heard progress on a new console, Microsoft confirmed that it and AMD had entered a partnership to get one made. Now, during an earnings call delivered today, Lisa had some good news to share:
Before you get too excited, it’s worth noting how Lisa Su worded this statement. Note how she says that AMD is ready to «support a launch in 2027.» What she’s saying is that, if Microsoft wanted to release a new Xbox in 2027, AMD would be ready to handle their request. It’s not a direct confirmation that an Xbox console will be released during that year.
At the same time, I don’t see a reason why Microsoft will want to delay the release of a new console. Right now, the Xbox Series X and S, while fine by themselves, don’t align with Microsoft’s rumored focus. We’ve heard sources claim that the next Xbox console will run a modified version of Windows 11, showing that Microsoft wants to turn its operating system into a one-size-fits-all solution. That way, it doesn’t matter if you’re using a PC, laptop, handheld, or console; you can stick Windows 11 on it, and you’re good to game.<\/p>\n
