While Xbox increasingly pursues a multiplatform strategy, it’s not giving up on hardware yet. Microsoft has just announced a “multi-year agreement” with AMD for new hardware across a variety of device types, including next-generation consoles.
“The collaboration aims to uplevel the player experience by delivering advanced graphics with enhanced visual quality, more immersive gameplay using the power of AI, and compatibility with players’ existing Xbox games library,” the company says in a press release. “Together, Xbox and AMD hope to enable play across devices in entirely new ways, delivering an Xbox experience designed for players – without being confined to a single store or tied to one device.”
While this covers a wide variety of device types, including PC, handheld, and cloud hardware, Xbox president Sarah Bond specifically calls out “next-generation Xbox consoles” in a video message to fans.
