It was already known that Microsoft was targeting a 2028 release window for the next-generation Xbox, however, more details have leaked online via a new FTC document spotted by a user on ResetEra.
Microsoft's vision for the next-generation Xbox is to "developer a next generation hybrid game platform capable of leveraging the combined power of the client and cloud to deliver deeper immersion and entirely new classes of games experiences. Optimized for real time game play and creators, we will enable new levels of performance beyond the capabilities of the client hardware alone."
Graphics innovations Microsoft plans to work on includes next-gen DirectX raytracing, dynamic global illumination, micropolygon rendering optimizations, ML based super resolution, and an extensibility model for faster iteration and innovation.
There are also details listing ARM64 vs X64 (Zen 6) for the CPU and a balance of big and little CPU cores, as well as a GP that is co-designed with AMD or licenses AMD IP (Navi 5).
The new innovation for the next-generation Xbox they are calling "Cloud Hybrid Games."

This is akin to looking at document about Series X and S from 2013, great I guess but....
The cloud hybrid plans have likely been dropped since when these documents are from (2020 or 2021). If you look at the other documents from the time in this same leak, Xbox was expecting big growth for Xbox Cloud Gaming, with Cloud having more users in the Xbox ecosystem than PC by 2028. That obviously isn't happening, Phil himself admitted on the stand that Cloud isn't growing the way they thought it would. Highly unlikely they decided to go forward with such a Cloud heavy console design releasing in 2028.
I find it hilarious that the choice for the GPU is either co-designed with AMD or licensed from AMD. Microsoft got burned by NVIDIA soooo bad back during the original Xbox that NVIDIA is still on the blacklist for them hahaha
Interesting that they are considering a choice between ARM64 and AMD x86-64. That would mean either the end of backwards-compatibility, backwards-compatibility enabled through xCloud streaming only, or they have a LOT of faith in their software group to develop full emulation of all the current Xbox/Xbox 360/Xbox One/Xbox Series titles for the next-gen one.
When I first read "hybrid" I thought they would go into portable business :D
This is legitimately one of the biggest leaks in gaming history. We now have Xbox’s roadmap for the next 5 years
Not really. A lot of the stuff on this road map has already been proven incorrect. At the very least, the timing is way off.
Oh the cloud again... cool...
ARM? Lol. Some shit creation with Qualcomm no doubt.
It's depressing seeing this. Still waiting for that1 killer AAA to launch for xbox series
What do you mean? As in killer App game?
One Great AAA exclusive
Xbox does not have exclusives, they release on PC.
And Sony no longer have new exclusives since they are launching their games on PC from 6 months to 2 years. They all still have console exclusives so i dont get this point unless you think everyone owns a PC?.
That mean Sony doesn't have many because alot are on PC
Haha good one 😂 goes back to playing Starfied
True, ive put in 80 hrs so far, but it's not a great game. It's good ,
some moments during those 80 hrs. A lot of those hrs is spent doing mundane tasks.
You might not think it's great but many people do and the majority of reviews agree. It definitely falls into the killer app definition when looking at how popular it is and being a console seller.
Man I hate after writing a long reply, you get a damm error and lose it all.
Whether popular or not, it was the most hyped game and regardrd as the most important exclusive for xbox, yet it only has a 8.4 on metacrtitic. So a pretty average score for a better than average game.
Ask me again what I feel when I finish playing, so far it's a 8's.
I have played alot of ps5 games and I have to say starfield is more fun then Spiderman 1 and miles Morales combined. Fyi I have plantinum them both. It's also more fun then Ragnarok. I struggling to finish as it's too bloated of unnecessary stuff and it's lifeless
With over 32 million players already FH5 is that killer AAA title.
It's average. Need for speed unbound is a much better racer.
There's been plenty. Starfield is the latest
It's alright, but wouldnt call it a must have
If U lack imagination then yes but it's definite must have. Will take that over Spiderman and miles, Ragnarok and 16
Imagination? I've put in more hrs into the game than you have. The game engine is severely outdated , and it's a last gen game , at best. Game has its moments but it surely was way over hyped.
How many hours?. I am 65 hours in. Last gen console can't run starfield. I.agree not all parts are pretty but there are moments and areas in the game that looks stunning.. the game is about what happens if I go here, what will I find. It's about if I do it this way what will be the consequences. Example spoiler alert. I recently did Ryujin quest. One do the quest I hacked all the top execs computer and learnt of their dirty laundry. With that I was able to use it against them for extortion and force them to double pay me and admit the dirty laundry to the ceo
. If I didn't hack their computers I wouldnt have the extort option, I would have the persuade, comply or attack option. That's the beauty of starfield and Bethesda type games. The physics in the game is impressive where each items in space has its own physics.
I hope people' realise that planets are meant to be empty with resources to obtain..that's how they are in real life lol
4 days and 15 hrs. Thats the count on the screen.
There is more juicier shit leaked, each leak that passes exposes this company more and more, phill just wants to buy everything with microsoft dolars but does not want to produce and create shit himself. Wants to buy nintendo and valve when opportunity appears, says its a career defining moment lmao.
Big company buys little company. The horror.
Costumer cheering for consolidation is the true horror.
true but we shouldn't complain because its how business works , I suppose we shouldn't complain about any negative impact in our lives because its just how the world works
Im not cheering, im stating a fact.
Tell me you have no idea how business works without telling me you have no idea how business works.
Sony did it by paying it to not appear on their competitors console. They didn't just suddenly create from start. It's just as and as to what ms doing
