Summary

  • Jez Corden says that the next Xbox is more likely to launch in 2027, not 2026.
  • He also says that it's more like a PC than a traditional console.
  • This might allow developers to work on games without a devkit, since they can be told the target specs.

Earlier this week, it was reported that the next 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Call of Duty game, launching in 2026, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:would release on the next Xbox. This would suggest that 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Microsoft is already well underway with the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Xbox Series X/S's successor, and could ha🦋ve some new hardware to ann♍ounce very soon.

However, insider Jez Corden does not believe that this is th🃏e case. As far as he is aware, developers have not yet been given devkits for the next Xbox, meaning that it's very unlikely that any games are being made with the new tech in mind. However, he also says that this will be a very different console from Xbox - and actually be more like a PC. This, in turn, could make early game development possible.

Don't Expect A New Xbox In 2026, Says Insider

"The idea that developers have already gotte🍎n the next-gen Xbox's 'devki🍰t', that's just not accurate," says Corden, speaking on the Xbox Two podcast. "And also, the next Xbox is Windows based, most people assume."

He continues, revealing more on what he's heard about the new console. "The whole idea of the next Xbox is that it's gonna be a PC in essence but with a TV friendly shell that also has a specific set of specs in mind, so developers will be building for Windows PC in a 🍎way but in suchꦿ a way that they know exactly what the specs will be, so they can optimise exactly for it.

"Maybe the Call of Duty stuff is accurate, but the devkit talk is more about what kind of specs they've been told to t൩arget for the next Xbox," he rounds off, "I'm pretty sure new hardware is not 2026, it's 2027"

There is some logic behind this. The 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Steam Deck has found great success as a portable PC which can also be connected to the TV via a dock. With this selling well, that suggests that people are after a more versatile gaming experience, something Xbox has hoped to provide with the availability o♑f Game Pass outside of its dedicated Xbox hardware.

As for the 2027 date, that would come about seven years after the launch of the Xbox Series X/S. This would be the exact same gap we saw between the Sony and Microsoft consoles last generation, although a key difference is that we're still seeing plenty of games launch for last gen. In fact, it's being reported that 168澳洲幸运5开奖网💮:this year's Call of Duty will be o🍬ne of them, still coming to Xbox One and PS4 after all this time. It's unlikely that studios want to support three generations at once, especially with all the issues c🐈aused by the Xbox Series S's lower specs.
