Xbox fans might have fresh reasons to look forward to the successor to Series X/S, as rumors suggest Team Green might shake up the gaming industry in 2027. While Microsoft is yet to unveil any information about their next-generation console’s hardware, leaks have painted a decent picture for the community to look forward to.
The latest leak suggests the next generation of Xbox console might leap forward in performance and ecosystem. These leaks trace back to X user @Gilgame48416687, who claims to specialize in discovering news related to Xbox.
What did the latest Xbox leaks reveal about the next-gen console?
The leak suggests the “AMD Magnus” APU would power the rumored console with 68 RDNA 5 GPUs, offering unprecedented graphical capabilities. There are also reports that the upcoming Xbox console might even surpass the rumored PlayStation 6 in raw power, as the latter might be prioritizing a hybrid approach. The specifications show that the system will provide you with a powerful machine which can operate heavy workloads effortlessly, narrowing the difference in gaming performance between a high-end gaming PC and a gaming console.
Microsoft is rumored to be working on three different prototypes, which include a redesigned Elite Series 3 controller. The new input device is expected to be more attractive, more responsive, and have more advanced features, which would offer a much-improved gaming experience. It seems like the American tech giant is planning a controller that suits their next-gen console.
The leak illustrates a design philosophy shift as the console is expected to have an operating system similar to Windows. The device is apparently being designed to work seamlessly with both laptops and cloud gaming services, creating an immersive Xbox-Windows experience. The 2027 console will also let you enjoy all past-gen Xbox console titles due to expected backward compatibility. It would offer even more flexibility with multiple third-party storefront support.
If rumors are to be true, Xbox might experience its most significant transformation yet in 2027. It might even change their standing in the console market.
