Gabriel Stanford-ReisingerMicrosoft might not be out of the home console market after all, as the American tech maker has “fully approved” an Xbox Series successor.
Windows Central reports Microsoft has “fully approved” the next generation of its console hardware. Now, it’s noted that they are likely holding off on revealing the hardware, likely as the current-gen consoles are still very much able to run smoothly if games are even a little optimized.
“I’ve recently been told that Xbox’s next-gen console hardware has now moved past its early pitch stages and has been fully approved and costed all the way up the chain.”
Frankly, it’s hard to say what Xbox’s next move is, they’ve gone all-in on multiplatform releases, even putting their games on direct competition’s hardware, and seemingly being highly successful. Games like Sea of Thieves, Grounded, and Hi-Fi Rush have already released while Age of Mythology: Retold, Forza Horizon 5, and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle poised for PlayStation releases.
