Last month Xbox president Sarah Bond confirmed that Microsoft is developing a next-gen Xbox console. Bond has reiterated that statement several times as Microsoft faces rumors that it’s getting out of the hardware business. Now, Bond is once again hyping up the next incarnation of Xbox by calling it “a powerful experience.”
While speaking with Fortune, Bond said, “Hardware is absolutely core to everything that we do at Xbox, because we know that our most valuable players, the people who love Xbox, love the hardware experience. That’s why we’re working on our next-generation hardware. It’s going to be a powerful experience, and one that also enables people to take their library with them.”
Bond shared her belief that players want the freedom to choose to play their games on Xbox, PC, or the cloud, and that the next Xbox will give them the option to do so. She made similar comments while promoting the ROG Xbox Ally in October.
It’s exciting to hear that Microsoft is committed to developing a next-gen Xbox console! The focus on hardware is definitely a crucial part of enhancing the overall gaming experience. Looking forward to seeing what they have in store for the future!
Absolutely, it’s great to see their commitment! It’s interesting to consider how this next-gen console might integrate more with cloud gaming, enhancing the overall Xbox ecosystem even further.
