Alright, so here’s the latest buzz from Microsoft. They’re teaming up with AMD for, like, a mega-partnership that’s supposed to jazz up the next-gen Xbox consoles. Picture this: a successor to the Xbox Series X by 2027. Yeah, I know—sounds like a sci-fi movie timeline.
Now, even though there were rumors floating around that Xbox was cooking up its own handheld console, that plan seems to have hit the brakes. But! During that flashy June 8th Xbox Games Showcase, we got a sneak peek into this madness. Sarah Bond, Xbox’s head honcho, rolled out the new ROG Xbox Ally handheld, which should hit the shelves by 2025. Why they called it “Ally”? Beats me.
There’s chatter about Xbox getting all buddy-buddy with Windows 11 too, improving gaming layers or something. Seems they’re working full steam ahead on the Series X heir — but also making sure this AMD deal enhances the current games and brings ultra-HD graphics and all that jazz. Play anywhere, anytime, blah blah — sounds nifty if they pull it off.
There’s also this tinge about Xbox working with ASUS on that ROG whatever. And they’re not stopping there! Xbox might even swing games onto the future Nintendo Switch 2. Phil Spencer, Xbox’s top guy, says Nintendo’s been an awesome teammate. I guess they’re just a big happy gaming family now.
Oh, and did I mention Xbox’s beef with Sony? Apparently, that ROG Ally could play some PlayStation games. How? It’s a mystery. But if I had to guess, it probably involves some wacky tech wizardry with AMD’s help.
In a surprise move, or maybe not, Microsoft’s even trying to turn Windows into a gamer’s paradise. Windows 11 could become THE platform for games. Ironic, considering all the past hiccups with Windows updates, right?
Anyway, 2027 or bust, they say. Who knows where all this will land? But hey, I’m just here watching the space. Let’s see if this alliance turns Xbox consoles into gaming marvels or if it crashes like an overhyped sequel we won’t mention.
Gaming in the cloud, handhelds, PC—everywhere! Xbox seems to want it all, and maybe they’ll get there. Or, maybe they won’t. We’ll just have to hang tight and see.
