Xbox Teases Next-Gen Console And Future Plans!

Story Highlight
  • Xbox has confirmed the use of AMD hardware for its next-generation hardware.
  • This system will support backwards compatibility, AI, and cutting-edge graphics.
  • Microsoft’s commitment to AMD will also extend to other devices as part of the “Play Anywhere” program.

Rumors regarding the next generation of Xbox have been all over the place lately. Following discussions about a potential OEM approach, insiders state that Microsoft has opted for a more traditional console with backwards compatibility.

Fortunately, Xbox itself has provided some clarity in a recent video. As per the gaming giant, AMD is returning as the official partner of the next-generation console.

Why it matters: Xbox has been experimenting with various innovations recently. Many believed this would lead to a non-traditional console from the gaming giant in the coming years.

In an official video, Xbox President Sarah Bond confirmed that the next-generation Xbox ecosystem will be built with AMD hardware.

Although Sarah Bond merely offered a small teaser, this choice ensures full backwards compatibility with past Xbox hardware, thanks to AMD’s continued use of the x86 architecture.

Xbox promises next-level performance, cutting-edge graphics, and more for the next generation. AI will also be a significant component of the coming hardware, with both companies working on implementing artificial intelligence into the console.

As part of this partnership, both AMD and Xbox will collaborate closely on future devices. The gaming giants will work to ensure Xbox’s game library is supported across a vast array of systems as part of the “Play Anywhere” initiative.
