Xbox: Next Console Set to Disrupt Everything, and It’s Good News

Xbox’s Next Console: A Commitment to Innovation

Amid recent speculation about the future of Xbox, the company has indicated it’s committed to developing its next console.

New Xbox Console Aims to Merge PC and Console Gaming Ecosystems

Last week, Sarah Bond revealed that the Xbox Series X and S are not Microsoft’s final consoles, confirming that the company is developing new hardware. According to Jez Corden at Windows Central, the new console will offer a PC-like experience, potentially eliminating the need for paid multiplayer subscriptions. This announcement addresses rumors that Microsoft plans to abandon hardware development. One anticipated feature of this next console is the potential to access games from platforms like GOG and Steam. This expansion could allow Xbox users to play PlayStation exclusives such as The Last of Us, God of War, and Marvel’s Spider-Man. Microsoft’s goal is to provide the flexibility of a PC gaming ecosystem without requiring users to pay for online play, a departure from the subscription model used since the Xbox 360.

Bond also mentioned the ROG Ally as a source of inspiration, suggesting the new console will be a hybrid device that retains a traditional console experience, distinct from the portable device developed in collaboration with Asus. The console will seamlessly play all Xbox games, a feature highly anticipated by fans. Corden has reported that the advanced components and technology could lead to a price increase, but these details are unconfirmed and subject to change. While official details are still pending, indications suggest Xbox aims to deliver a high-performance console with expanded game access.
