The next generation of Xbox will not be just home console

Last week, we were surprised to see that Microsoft was not only cares about gaming handheld, but was actively supporting him within his Xbox ecosystem. And if the final plans of Microsoft change anything as they currently appear, they can be a very central role.

Microsoft has officially confirmed the development of its next generation Xbox hardware, indicating a strategic change towards a more open and versatile gaming ecosystem. In a recent declaration, Xbox president Sara Bond revealed a multi-year partnership with AMD to develop Custom Silicon, which would strengthen a new family of Xbox devices, including both traditional living room console and new handheld systems.

This is not “big news” here, though. Finally, Xbox has used AMD hardware for its console continuously since the launch of Xbox One in 2013, so it is not surprising to see the next Xbox the next Xbox. Surprisingly, hardware will be used in “portfolio of devices”. In an important departure from traditional console models, Microsoft stated that future Xbox experience “would not be tied to a lock or a device on the same store.” It has two meanings. First and foremost, the next-gyne Xbox ecosystem will not include just one home console or a series of home console, but may include things like handheld as the “main” part of the Xbox experience.

It also points to a future where Xbox hardware can allow access to other digital game stores and will be less “closed”. The huge implies that the line between the Xbox game and the PC game will be further blurred, the Xbox console will be able to play PC games, perhaps also running a version of Windows itself. The recent “Xbox ally” handheld device of Asus will run on Windows and will facilitate a new full-screen Xbox interface, but it will also be able to reach other PC game stores like Steam-it may be a philosophy that Microsoft wants to apply below its first side as well as the hardware of its first side. It has been five years since the launch of Xbox Series S and Series X, so it is already not crazy to talk about their successors.

There is something that can worry to worry to play the players for a long time, their current game is the fate of the library. Bond addressed it directly, confirming that the next generation of Xbox would maintain backward compatibility. “It is all about making you a gaming platform that always is with you,” he said, assuring the players that their investment in the Xbox game will proceed to new hardware.

We have to wait and see what the next generation Xbox looks, but it definitely looks interesting.
