With the PS5 Pro storming out to store shelves later this year, the absence of a mid-generation refresh for the Xbox Series X is even more notable. But Microsoft is reportedly focusing on its next-gen hardware plans instead.
Team Xbox opted for two versions of its console for this generation, split between the traditional high-tech Xbox Series X and the more affordable, all-digital Xbox Series S. That dual-strategy is apparently going to continue into the next console generation, according to a Windows Central report discussing the platform's plans for its 25th anniversary.
Windows Central sources allege that Microsoft is now working on a traditional console that would follow-up the Xbox Series X and compete with the inevitable PS6, while at the same time developing the long-rumored Xbox handheld said to be the company's "own take on the Steam Deck."
