AMD says next Xbox, with AI and cloud features, could launch in 2027.

AMD CEO Lisa Su revealed during a recent earnings call that development of the semi-custom system-on-chip for Microsoft’s next-generation Xbox is progressing well and could launch in 2027, aligning with the typical seven-year console cycle. The timeline follows Microsoft’s 2025 partnership with AMD to co-engineer silicon for future consoles and cloud gaming. While Microsoft has not officially confirmed a release date, AMD stated it is ready to support a 2027 launch. The next Xbox is expected to be a premium, high-end device integrating AI and cloud capabilities, possibly blending console and PC features, though details remain unverified. AMD also confirmed its Steam Machine, powered by AMD technology, is on track to ship early in 2026.
