Upcoming Xbox Console Set For Christmas Reveal

During the Official Xbox Podcast that aired tonight, with much of the focus on game releases and confirming that only four multiplatform first-party titles will be arriving, as well as the inclusion of Activision Blizzard and Diablo IV in the Game Pass lineup this March, key discussions were also held about Xbox's continued role in hardware production. Phil Spencer, Sarah Bond, and Matt Booty imparted a significant update: plans to unveil a new Xbox console are set for the next holiday season.

Details regarding this upcoming model remain undisclosed, apart from its confirmed existence. Speculation suggests it might be a handheld device, aligning with the company executives' shared aspiration for seamless gaming across any location or device—always anchored within the Xbox ecosystem.

Moreover, it appears that the team is concurrently developing what could be the next series of Xbox consoles. According to Bond, this separate endeavor involves devices that promise the most substantial "technical leap" in Xbox history.
