Finally, there is a new one on the hardware side at Xbox. However, given the technology mentioned, it may surprise more than one. We take stock with you.
Since 2024, Microsoft attest to a strategic change which will have a certain influence on the future. So far concerns games. But, by extension, some already supposed that the will of the American giant to give itself a posture of editor-thirds could mark the disappearance of consoles Xbox. However, it would not be. However, a new job offer would tend to let us understand that we will be entitled to surprises in the future.
A change of equipment for the future Xbox?
Phil Spencer had said it, Microsoft did not intend to abandon the hardware So early. The boss of the Xbox Game Studios does not, however, extend to the details. However, rumors already evoke several future consoles in preparation: a laptop and a living room.
Last February, Jez Corden reported that the Material of the new Xbox console had passed the first stage of presentation. The man then reached his sources internally. But, this time, it is a question of more concrete elements.
In fact, a job offer shared by Atlantic Bridge for a position of sales manager mentions a mission more than explicit: “ Support the sales activities of the Next generation of surface and xbox products based on solutions Snapdragon ».
This job offer directly evokes the Xbox range, but an element is surprised. It is mentioned here of a snapdragon chip Presumably manufactured by Qualcomm. Based onarchitecture ARMthis is rather used on the market of mobile. However, so far, Microsoft’s consoles are based on X86 models close to what is done on PC.
More compact and less energy -consuming, Snapdragon technology would be well in the logic of a convergence between PC, mobile and console supports At Xbox. But can we really see it there a link with the future living room console? Nothing is less certain. Since Microsoft wants compatibility between the current X | S series library and the future machine, the transition to an Arm Snapdragon technology would require recompile the titles or set up an X86 emulation. However, it seems Too ambitious as it is for snapdragon fleas. This is probably not concerned not a living room console.
Microsoft could well create surprise in the future
Our colleagues from Windows Central have also had this job offer. They then looked into the issue and asked the question to anonymous sources which they consider well informed. However, these deny the use of Snapdragon solutions. According to them, ” The next Xbox systems are not Not based on Qualcomm fleas ».
Consequently, it would be more likely, as Windows Central points out, that this mention more concerns the PC Surface from Microsoft. The manufacturer could rather seek to optimize the compatibility of the cloud gaming and the Xbox Game Pass on these portable products at the crossroads of the computer and tablet.
In this regard, Microsoft had already mentioned the ambition to offer a Surface Gaming in the past. In the end, the manufacturer has been wanting to want to turn to the laptop market for a few years. But there too, something gets stuck. According to the latest leaks, the Xbox Portable Presumably in preparation at Asus would rather be based on traditional AMD technology. It would therefore not be impossible for another hardware project to be under construction to combine both the mobile dimension of the equipment and the ability to run games, at least thanks to the cloud gaming.
