Regardless of expanding into publishing on various other platforms and mobile devices, Microsoft is still dedicated to creating next-generation Xbox hardware. As revealed by Xbox president Sarah Bond, the company has entered into a long-term partnership with AMD, aiming to jointly design silicon for a range of devices, including our upcoming Xbox consoles – both for your living room and handheld devices.
As a gamer, I’m all about playing my favorite games with my friends wherever I am, and that’s exactly what Xbox is aiming for. They’re pouring resources into their upcoming hardware lineup for consoles, handheld devices, PCs, cloud gaming, and accessories. So, while there have been whispers about them stepping away from handheld consoles, it seems like they’re still in the game!
Bond emphasized that these two firms are pushing forward the boundaries of technology in gaming hardware, aiming to introduce the upcoming wave of graphics advancements. This will bring about a higher level of visual fidelity and immersive gameplay, enriched by artificial intelligence. Notably, they are ensuring compatibility with your current collection of Xbox games as well.
To achieve this goal, they aim to establish a versatile gaming platform that’s accessible on multiple devices and locations, ensuring it’s always at your fingertips for gaming fun. Furthermore, the platform will offer an Xbox gaming experience that isn’t confined to a specific store or tied down to one device alone. This aligns with speculations about the upcoming Xbox generation, which may allow users to install Steam and the Epic Games Store.
As a fellow gamer, I’m excited to share that we’re collaborating closely with the Windows team to make sure gaming thrives on their platform. The future of Xbox is unfolding, and let me tell you, this is just the start! We can barely contain our excitement about what’s coming next, so stay tuned!
The fact that AMD is powering both the Xbox Series X/S and PS5, as well as the supposed PS6 handheld, doesn’t come as a shock (since partnership). However, Microsoft seems to have more up its sleeve than just new hardware. As for when these plans will be unveiled, we’ll have to wait and see, so keep an eye out for further developments.
During this upcoming holiday season, it’s been hinted that the ROG Xbox Ally will make its debut, with whispers suggesting a launch towards the end of October. As of now, the price point remains undecided, but rumors circulate that the basic model, the Xbox Ally, might be priced at $499, while the upgraded version, the Ally X, is expected to retail for $799.
