The latest generation of consoles is already four years old. Many players point out the lack of big games showcasing the technical capabilities of the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, but for their part, manufacturers do not rest on their laurels. At the house of Sonythis is the hypothetical console mid-gen PS5 Pro which is talking about it, but for Microsoftthe next generation is already on the way.
Nothing surprising, the leak of last September already mentioned the plans of Microsoft for the 10th generation of consoles, with Xbox hybrids between the native and the cloud gaming. But very recently, Windows Central got his hands on an e-mail sent by Sarah Bond to employees, discussing the manufacturer’s strategy. The president of Xbox declared:
We’re moving full speed ahead on our next-generation hardware, focused on delivering the greatest technological leap in a generation.
If the subject of technical development had already been discussed at the start of the year, Sarah Bond seems to announce here that Microsoft goes all out on the design of its next Xboxwhich would not be expected before 2028. The manufacturer would still have, according to rumors, other machines coming before that, including a 100% digital Xbox Series X and perhaps even a portable console.
Interestingly enough, Sarah Bond mentions in her email the creation ofa team dedicated to the preservation of video gamesso that future generations can enjoy the games Xbox. The manufacturer already emphasizes the backward compatibility of its consoles (the Xbox Series X can play most of the games on DVD from the first Xbox), but the process should evolve thanks to this new team.
If work on preserving games Xbox remains a little vague for the moment, Microsoft could go into detail during his Xbox ShowcaseJune 9, 2024. No, the manufacturer has not officially announced anything, but The Verge seems confident and asserts that Microsoft would hold its annual conference on this date, unveiling a new game in the process Gears and the next Call of Duty. However, there is very little chance that the manufacturer will discuss its 10th generation console on this occasion, it will probably be necessary to settle for an officialization of the digital Xbox Series mid-gen.
One thing is certain, the PC/Xbox Game Pass will be in the spotlight as always, you can subscribe to the formula Ultimate from €14.99 on Amazon, Cdiscount Or there Fnac.
