- Microsoft is reportedly planning to launch a next-generation Xbox console in 2027, according to AMD CEO Lisa Su.
- Valve is also set to start shipping its AMD-powered Steam Machine early this year.
- Microsoft’s Xbox development with a semi-custom SOC from AMD is “progressing well” for a 2027 launch.
- Xbox President Sarah Bond announced a multi-year partnership with AMD for Xbox consoles in mid-2025 focusing on AI, ML, and co-engineered silicon for both home gaming and handheld devices.
- Leaked documents from the FTC vs. Microsoft court battle suggest that the next Xbox was initially planned as a hybrid game platform combining local hardware and cloud computing, with a projected release in 2028.
- The possibility of an earlier launch remains uncertain, but the underperformance of the Xbox X and S since their 2020 release might influence Microsoft’s timeline decisions.
