Microsoft has fired the first shot in the next console generation, announcing a partnership with AMD that will involve the next generation of Xbox consoles, with the announcement closely following the reveal of a dedicated ASUS Xbox handheld.
It seems like only yesterday that the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S hit the market, with lockdown leading to the most tumultuous launch period that any console has ever faced. Five years have passed, and both systems are going strong, with the Nintendo Switch 2 recently entering the fray.
Microsoft is already planning its next line of systems, as a new video on the official Xbox YouTube channel has announced a multi-year partnership with AMD that will include the unnamed next Xbox system. This follows the reveal of the ROG Xbox Ally X by Asus, which is a licensed portable gaming system that also uses an AMD processor.
AMD Will Power The Next Xbox
AMD will be co-engineering silicon for multiple devices, including the new Xbox. The intention is for the next system to have top-tier graphics partially powered by AI, which will still be compatible with the existing library of games.
