Next-Gen Xbox To Be The 'Largest Technical Leap' For A New Console Generation: Microsoft

Microsoft revealed fresh details about its plans for Xbox hardware, hinting at the upcoming generation of Xbox consoles and providing updates about its gaming business in a special edition of the Official Xbox Podcast on Thursday. In the podcast, Xbox president Sarah Bond stated that Microsoft was focused on delivering the “largest technical leap” for a new console generation with the next Xbox. Bond also affirmed that fans could anticipate new Xbox hardware later this year in the holiday season — likely the speculated mid-generation refresh of the Xbox Series S/X consoles. And what we're really focussed on there is delivering the largest technical leap you will have seen in a hardware generation.” Xbox currently features the Xbox Series X, its flagship current-generation console, along with the lower-end, digital-only Xbox Series S. What Can We Expect From The Release? In September last year, leaked court documents from the Federal Trade Commission's antitrust trial concerning Microsoft's acquisition of Activision-Blizzard unveiled the company's plans for a mid-gen refresh of its Xbox Series X and Series S consoles anticipated in 2024.
