Microsoft’s Xbox team has recently confirmed they are developing their upcoming generation consoles, about half a decade since the launch of the Series S and X models.

Since their debut in November 2020, the Series S|X consoles have dominated the market primarily due to the widespread appeal of their Game Pass subscription service.

Enthusiasts have long been anticipating news about Xbox developing the next generation of gaming consoles, and indeed, on June 17th, their suspense was confirmed.

In a recently released video, it’s been uncovered that the firm owned by Microsoft is developing cutting-edge devices and cloud solutions, such as a future Xbox gaming console and the earlier mentioned ROG Xbox Ally portable device.
