AMD’s CEO suggests the next Xbox could be closer than we thought

AMD CEO Lisa Su says Microsoft aims to launch its next generation of Xbox in 2027. The information came in connection with AMD’s latest quarterly report, in which Su says development of a new Xbox chip with Microsoft is on track for a launch that year, reports Engadget.

Microsoft has had a multi-year collaboration with AMD on future Xbox hardware since 2025. According to Xbox head Sarah Bond, upcoming consoles will take greater advantage of AI and machine learning, and the collaboration includes both desktop and portable devices.

Previous leaks have pointed to a more hybrid-style Xbox platform that combines local hardware with cloud gaming, with a speculative launch initially planned for 2028. In all this, there’s reason to believe that Windows will be the future of Xbox gaming.

Microsoft hasn’t officially confirmed anything. The company’s latest gaming consoles—the Xbox Series X/S—were released in 2020. In 2025, the Asus ROG Xbox Ally handheld gaming PC was released.
