AMD Confirms Support for Microsoft's Next-Gen Xbox Launch in 2027.
AMD CEO Lisa Su has signaled that the company is prepared to support a launch of Microsoft's next-generation Xbox console as early as 2027. During an earnings call, Su mentioned that development on the new console was progressing well and that AMD is ready to provide custom semi-custom SoC chips for the console. This suggests that Microsoft may be moving its next-gen Xbox launch forward from previously expected timelines.
Microsoft had confirmed last year that it's working with AMD to develop a next-gen Xbox console, which will utilize custom AMD chips. The partnership includes co-engineering silicon across various devices and building the next generation of Xbox Cloud Gaming servers. However, no specific release date has been announced by Microsoft yet, despite previously leaked documents pointing towards 2028.
Xbox president Sarah Bond had hinted at a premium, high-end console experience in October, which could imply that the new console is taking the hybrid console and PC format forward. This would mark a significant shift for Microsoft's gaming division, as it looks to attract both gamers and non-gamers with its next-generation offerings.
While AMD's support does not confirm that Microsoft will launch its Xbox next year, it suggests that the company is on track to provide custom components for the console. With Microsoft's growing ambitions in cloud gaming and its shift towards more premium gaming experiences, a 2027 launch could bring significant changes to the gaming industry.

AMD and Microsoft are finally getting their act together? I mean, it's about time, right? 
A 2027 Xbox launch is looking more plausible now that AMD has confirmed their support. It's gonna be interesting to see how this whole thing plays out. Will Microsoft stick to its guns and release a premium console or will they go all in on cloud gaming like everyone else? 
I'm also kinda curious about what 'next-gen' even means anymore... is it just a fancy way of saying 'expensive'? 
i'm hyped for the potential of hybrid console & pc experience, it could bring gaming to a whole new level. and with cloud gaming on the rise, this partnership between microsoft and amd is gonna be super interesting to watch. let's see how it all plays out in 2027 
, but I'm not sure if I'd be able to ride it on the new trails they're building in my area... do you think they'll make them suitable for e-bikes? 
It's pretty cool. I've been thinking of trying it out, but I'm not sure if I want to mess up my current phone...
but what's the point of having all those fancy specs if we still gotta deal with high prices 
maybe microsoft should consider a more affordable option to bring gamers back 
maybe it's a move to catch gamers who are already hyped for pc gaming? 
I mean, we've seen those leaked docs sayin' 2028, so maybe MS just wants to make sure they got everything right before droppin' that new console 
just think about it, next gen xbox in 2027 
custom SoC chips are gonna make this console 
Xbox has been teasing premium high-end experience and now it's starting to sound legit 
msft is pushing hard on cloud gaming and premium experiences 
but we gotta wait and see how it all unfolds 
If they can make a high-end console experience like Bond said, that'll be a total game changer for them. What do you think about this new Xbox?
anyway, I think this could be a big deal for gamers and non-gamers alike. A premium console experience that's also cloud gaming friendly sounds like a win-win. But I guess we'll just have to wait and see if Microsoft can actually deliver on the hype 
.
And can we please just get a release date already? This whole thing feels like a tease 
, could be a game-changer (pun intended) for their gaming division. But 2027? That's still a ways off 
, might see some delays or more changes before then 
... but at the same time, 2027 feels super early for an Xbox release, like what if they can't get it together in time? 
AMD and Microsoft are teaming up again, which means we're gonna see some serious power under the hood of that new Xbox console 
... normally console launches take at least a few years to develop and test, so it's unlikely microsoft would be ready for that kind of thing so soon. plus, think about how much it costs to make a new console - it can't just magically appear out of thin air.
️. It's got this weird little nook in the back with a vintage arcade console, totally nostalgic for me. Anyway, if they do move up the release date to 2027, it's gonna be wild seeing how that affects the gaming industry...
) for Microsoft's gaming division. Bring it on!
