According to AMD, the next Xbox console might not arrive until 2027. During an earnings call, CEO Lisa Su indicated that work is underway on the semi-custom SoC for the new console. This suggests that the hardware is still in development, aligning with a potential 2027 launch, though Microsoft ultimately makes the decision.

This news stems from a long-standing partnership between Microsoft and AMD to co-engineer silicon for the Xbox ecosystem. The companies' collaboration is key to delivering the custom processors that power the consoles. Previous statements from Microsoft suggest a focus on a more premium experience for the next-generation hardware, including multiple form factors.

While 2027 is the target, the actual release date is subject to change. Factors like market conditions and technological advancements could influence the final timeline. The Xbox Series X is currently the latest console. It will be interesting to see if Microsoft can maintain its competitive edge in the console market.
