UPDATE (Oct 5, 2025): Microsoft has provided the following statement, echoing our previous report: "We are actively investing in our future first-party consoles and devices designed, engineered and built by Xbox. For more details, the community can revisit our agreement announcement with AMD."

No, Xbox's next gen console hardware plans aren't cancelled — for now (UPDATE: Microsoft responds)

Rumors are swirling that Xbox is going to kill its hardware ecosystem. It's not true ... for now, but it easily could've been true, given how nonsensically Xbox acts lately.

See what Peter Moore did with the Xbox 360 and copy that.

Hard to doubt the industry titan

99%

[Geometric-Crusher]

I will not buy

 

[TrippleA345]

That will definitely reduce the heat

 

[GHG]

99%

Given the current state of play I'll take whatever odds you're offering on the 1%.

 

[reinking]

At least for now.

 

[Sebastian1295]

So you're a third party publisher who has no redeeming qualities in terms of buying your next console but yet you wanna convince people you're not dying. The only thing they had going for them was gamepass and now that's out the window because you raised the price to the point it's now a detriment. You're fucked and everyone and their grandma knows it.

 

[SlimySnake]

lol they saw the gaf insider posts. their PR handlers are always combing through these forums. what a bunch of losers.

Until we aren't

This is going to be slow and painful for you but we'll be with you every step of the way

 

[lastmessiah]

Yeah this is obvious to everyone except the big brains at GAF. The second largest market cap company just made a muti-year partnership with AMD and launched their cloud platform out of beta, following a historic acquisition. They are only just getting started.

 

[GrayChild]

Never doubt the greatest gamer of all time!

 

[Artistic]

Xbox is back.

 

[kaizenkko]

Microsoft never lies, right?

 

[TransTrender]

Until we aren't

Yep
They need to keep saying this to satisfy shareholders...until the flip is switched and the official message is the opposite.

It's not like they became a trillion dollars worth company because of Xbox consoles

Not sure what you think this comment means or why you bothered posting it.

 

[Spyxos]

 

[Trekinspace88]

Yeah sure we believe you as MS never lie about things right? Look even if they do release new hardware it will just be basically a PC with Xbox branding/case and gamers might as well just go buy an actually PC at that point.

 

[adamsapple]

This pain can't be refunded either.

 

[LordCBH]

 

[Insane Metal]

Hopefully that's true. I don't want a market where Sony is the only company releasing a home console.

 

[PauloRoberto]

The trust perception at MS Gaming is so bad that the official statement sounds like a big 'trust us bros'. How the fuck did the allow themselves to this point ?!

 

[qbxwhi]

they constantly lie.

so, it means, they are not.

 

[semiconscious]

This one went very viral very quickly.

No time to record a business update podcast.

 

[Setsuna Mudou]

Well, if "Jez" said it....

 

[memoryman3]

Why is this a surprise? You can successfully sell console hardware even without exclusive games.

 

[ZehDon]

With Game Pass effectively being de-prioritised, I have no idea what their next Gen plans are. All I know is: a console without exclusive games to push it ain't worth much.

This reminds me of the wii-u era everyone wanted it to fail so hard and said Nintendo lost their way and were dead and then they pulled a miracle switch out of their lazy asses. Maybe we will see the same from Microsoft, maybe not.

Nintendo still had a relatively successful handheld line at the time.

Bro the clowns running Microsoft Gaming are nowhere near Nintendo's level.

This is almost insulting to Miyamoto and Iwata tbh.

Microsoft still has other relatively successfully lines of business at this time, whats your point?

 

[Skifi28]

It's just 4 games guys, trust us.

[Wastelander92]

Hi Phil can you remaster Lost Odyssey while you're reading us atm??

Of video game hardware business? I'd love to know them.

 

[demigod]

Fake news, we all know folks don't answer their business phone on a Sunday, let alone answering to Jizz.

 

[Yoboman]

Xbox next step should be a version of Gamepass on PlayStation and Nintendo. But that will realistically only get permission if Xbox have pulled out of hardware

There is another thing here... Nintendo never unlearned how to do games (case in point, the number of ported games from WiiU to Switch). Do you TRUST that THIS microosft is capable of creating a game that will atract good attention ?! I do now.

Exclusives coming to other consoles, sounds like copium to me

 

[tTHANOSs]

Good luck with that.

 

[FIREKNIGHT2029]

"It's just four games"

 

[Horseganador]

Even if it were true, they wouldn't admit it, at least not yet...
