It appears as though the PS5 and Xbox Series X were launched only recently, yet it seems that Microsoft is already setting sights on the following generation of hardware. According to a report from Jez Corden at Windows Central, “the hardware for Xbox’s next-gen console” has progressed beyond its initial proposal phase, implying that it has been given the green light by management for further development stages.

Microsoft officials have repeatedly stated that their next console will represent the “greatest technical leap” ever between hardware generations, which is quite a claim considering the Xbox Series X is already the most powerful console currently available.
