The video brings no great details about the console itself (no name, no technical information, no release date), but leaves some tips on how Microsoft sees the game market today.
Multiplatform chips
- Sarah Bond states that AMD will co-develop custom chips for an entire line of devices.
- This encompasses not only the new generation of Xbox, but also “portable devices, pcs, cloud and accessories.”
- In addition, the partnership promises to deliver a quality leap to the graphics and experience:
“Together, we will deliver deeper visual quality, immersive gameplay and experiences enhanced by artificial intelligence”said the executive.
- The president of Xbox also guaranteed full compatibility with the current console games library.
- So, yes, players can migrate their catalog of Xbox One, Xbox Series S and Series X.
- What is excellent news for our pockets!
- Bond also stated that the brand is not “linked to a single store or device.”
- This statement reinforced rumors that in the future there may be a kind of integration with Steam.
- Microsoft, however, confirms nothing officially.
Other news for Xbox
Xbox is not limited to the development of the new generation console. The company has been delivering, in recent months, some interesting innovations to its customers.
The main one is the integration between Copilot and Microsoft’s Game Division. The idea is that the AI assistant can one day act as a companion who will guide him for games, giving tips and suggestions, and download and start titles, among other things.
The news has already reached some countries, but is still in the embryonic phase – in mobile apps only. In the future, however, technology must also be in consoles, portable and on PC.
Meanwhile, the company continues to strengthen its game subscription service. Game Pass consolidates, month by month, as the best in the category among consoles.
