Is there a new Xbox coming out?

As of 2024, Microsoft has not officially announced a new Xbox console to succeed the Xbox Series X|S. However, given that the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S were both released in November 2020, it's likely that a next-gen Xbox would not be expected until around 2026 or 2027, following the typical console lifecycle.

That being said, there have been several rumors and speculation about a new Xbox model, including a possible Xbox Series Z or a refreshed version of the Xbox Series X with better hardware or additional features. However, this is purely speculative at this point, and Microsoft has not confirmed anything concrete.

What's Happening with Xbox in 2024:

• Xbox Series X and Series S continue to be the flagship consoles from Microsoft, with regular software updates to improve the user experience and support for new game releases.
• Xbox Game Pass is growing rapidly, offering a subscription service that gives players access to hundreds of games, including new releases.
• Microsoft has been focusing on cloud gaming through services like Xbox Cloud Gaming (formerly known as Project xCloud), which could be a major part of future consoles or updates.

Could the Next Xbox Be a Mid-Generation Refresh?

Instead of a full next-gen console, it's possible that Microsoft could release a mid-generation refresh similar to how they released the Xbox One X (a more powerful version of the Xbox One) and the Xbox Series X (a more powerful version of the Series S). These refreshes generally include improvements in performance, graphics, and storage, while keeping the overall architecture similar to the previous model.

When Will We Know More?

Expect any official announcements about a new Xbox console or significant hardware upgrades to come a few years before its release. Keep an eye on major gaming events like E3 or Microsoft’s Xbox showcase for any future news.

Until then, the Xbox Series X|S remains the latest and greatest in Microsoft's console lineup!
