So, I was hearing things online on Sunday, October 5th, that Microsoft might be teaming up with companies like Asus to build the next Xbox. It made me wonder if they were starting to prioritize Xbox Game Pass over actually *making* the consoles themselves, since Game Pass is doing so well. But thankfully, Windows Central quickly reported that those rumors weren’t true and Microsoft *is* still investing in building the next generation of Xbox consoles after all! That’s a relief as a fan.
Xbox Next will be from Microsoft
So, there was this rumor going around yesterday that Microsoft might be ditching making Xbox consoles themselves. Apparently, a journalist named Jez Corden said they were looking at having other companies, like Asus, actually *build* the next Xbox – maybe even branding it with their logo, like the Ally X. It caused a bit of a panic! But Microsoft was quick to shut it down, saying their own team is totally handling the next generation of Xbox, so we don’t need to worry about that.
We’re continuing to invest in the development of future Xbox consoles and devices, which are designed, engineered, and built in-house. You can find more information about our plans in the announcement we made with AMD.
Microsoft revealed in June that the next generation of Xbox will use technology from AMD. While this news might satisfy some fans, industry analyst Jez Corden notes others are still wary. Microsoft’s communication has been inconsistent lately, creating confusion about its future plans.
This information comes from a source who has accurately leaked details about Xbox in the past – they previously revealed specifications for the Xbox Series X/S, contributed to the cancellation of a cloud gaming console, and delayed development of a handheld device. Because of this track record, it appears the next Xbox isn’t likely to face the same fate as some recently canceled games and studio closures.
