According to reports, Microsoft aims to launch its successor X/s of the next generation X/s series in 2027, with a portable Xbox that arrives at the end of this year.
That is according to Windows Central, who reports that an Xbox Successor X/S series has been green “until the end until [Microsoft] The CEO Satya Nadella “and is now” completely in production. “The publication does not have much to share in the form of the details, but states that the new console is a” premium successor of the powerful XBox X series “, and is currently scheduled for a 2027 launch.
Microsoft, of course, has already confirmed that it is working in a successor of the X/S series, with Xbox Sarah Bond president last year saying: in the midst of fans of fans that the company may be looking to leave the console market: it was “invested in [its] Next generation route map “and” focused on … deliver the largest technical leap you will have seen in a hardware generation “.
While 2027 obviously remains a considerable path, Windows Central says that Microsoft has other Xbox hardware plans due to the arrival much earlier. According to the reports, the company is currently working together with an “PC games” not specified to launch a hand -hand hand Handheld at the end of this year. It is claimed that the device is developing under the name of Keenan code, and according to the central Windows sources, it will be “unequivocally ‘Xbox'”, which looks like family design sensibilities and even an Xbox guide button.
The idea of an Xbox hand computer is nothing new. In 2017, the Xbox chief, Phil Spencer, revealed that Microsoft had “designed approximately an Xbox hand computer” in the past. However, the subject has become repeatedly during the last year, feeding the speculation that the project had been revived. When asked about a possible Xbox hand computer last November, Spencer suggested that such devices would still be a few years away, but with imminent switch 2, and the reports that suggest that Sony is also working on its own hand device in the form of portable PS5, it could be Microsoft felt the need to accelerate its plans.
Interestingly, Windows Central states that Microsoft is also Internally developing its own Xbox gaming hand computer, separated from this year’s partner machine, which will be launched together with its successor to the X/S series and “several new controller options” in 2027.
All this occurs after a 2024 that saw Microsoft’s continuous dedication to the repeatedly questioned console market, particularly after its decision to bring selected Xbox games to other platforms. And while this multiplatform strategy is accelerating in 2025, the company has been anxious to reiterate its commitment to the Xbox hardware business, last year announcing three new Xbox console variants along with talking about its next generation plans.
