AMD Gives Microsoft a Heads-Up: Next-Gen Xbox Could Launch as Early as 2027.
In an earnings call today, AMD CEO Lisa Su dropped a bombshell that sent shockwaves through the gaming world. According to Su, the development of Microsoft's next-generation Xbox console is progressing well and could be ready for launch in 2027, with custom AMD chips at its core.
While the statement doesn't confirm a release date, it implies that AMD is fully prepared to support the launch of the new Xbox if Microsoft is also on track. The partnership between AMD and Microsoft, which includes co-engineering silicon across various devices, including the next-gen Xbox consoles, has been in place for over a year.
Microsoft's plans for its next-generation console are still shrouded in mystery, but sources suggest that the company aims to create a hybrid console-PC experience. The Xbox Ally devices have been seen as an initial step towards this goal. When asked about the release date, Xbox president Sarah Bond described the new console as a "very premium, very high-end curated experience."
Interestingly, earlier documents from the FTC v. Microsoft case mentioned a potential 2028 release, but those were not based on current plans and have been superseded by more recent information.
The news comes at an exciting time for gamers who are eagerly anticipating the next-generation Xbox console. With AMD's involvement, it seems likely that this new console will be a powerful machine that sets a new standard in gaming technology.

! I mean, think about it - next-gen Xbox and custom AMD chips... we're talkin' serious power here 
. It's no wonder gamers are hyped 
. But, you know, 2027 seems kinda soon? Like, don't they wanna make sure everything is just right before dropping the bomb 
? Still, if AMD is all on board, that's a huge thumbs up 
. And with Microsoft's plans for a hybrid console-PC experience... wow, this could be something special 
. Fingers crossed it doesn't break the bank 
tho 
custom chips and all that jazz... sounds like the next-gen xbox is gonna be a game-changer (pun intended). i'm kinda hoping microsoft doesn't mess it up 
I mean, 2028 was the original prediction, and now this? It's like they're playing a game of gaming console roulette. When are we gonna find out for sure? 
. Don't get me wrong, a new Xbox would be awesome, but let's keep our expectations in check for now 
. The fact that they're still keeping things under wraps about Microsoft's plans makes me think there might be more to this story than we know 
. Still excited to see what the future holds, though! 
. A 2027 launch date for the next-gen Xbox sounds like a wild ride. I mean, can you imagine playing the latest games on a console that's got custom AMD chips? 
. Can't wait to see what Microsoft has in store for us!
