Xbox is preparing to reach a milestone in the history of its consoles. The latest rumors seem to be confirmed according to the new information.
Now, we’re closer to the end of the current console generation than to its beginning. New machines should see the light of day before 2030 according to forecasts. Therefore, the question is how manufacturers will renew themselves this time. On the Microsoft side, a trend is starting to be talked about unofficially for the next Xbox and it seems to be confirmed.
Xbox would take a turn never seen before for a home console
While the marque Xbox will celebrate its 25th anniversary this year, it is preparing one of its biggest new features for its next console. This would happen at the very level of the architecture of the machine, as several sources have already reported in recent months. According to these rumors, Microsoft would like to offer a hybrid experience that would be closer to the PC.
These rumors seem more and more proven with a new leak from Windows Central. Journalist Jez Corden this time mentions a full screen display of Windows 11. In short, the future Xbox would function more like a gaming PC, while retaining the interface and ergonomics of a console.
This would herald a real revolution in the console field. In fact, such a turning point would be synonymous with much more openness for this new machine. For example, it could accommodate several blindslike Steam and Epic Games, rather than just Windows. Likewise, theapplication Xbox PC would certainly gain more momentum. At the same time, we should surely expect a strengthening of the all-dematerialized with a growing disappearance of physical games on this medium.
Once again, the strategy of standardizing the Xbox interface from one hardware to another seems to be strengthening. The idea of having a generalized experience between console, PC and nomadic hardware seems clear. At the same time, the manufacturer would like to ensure a certain continuity between the machines. Indeed, rumors also indicate a desire to preserve the backwards compatibility with XONE and Series X|S in the future. We would therefore be turning towards a generation that is more hybrid than ever, both between generations and also between media.
