Back in April, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.purexbox.com\/news\/2025\/04\/video-phil-spencer-shows-off-secret-xbox-lab-for-next-gen-hardware\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Phil Spencer did exactly the same thing<\/a>, taking the folks at the &#8220;Today&#8221; show on a tour of the labs.<\/p>\n<p>And again, the narrator at the time mentioned how it was &#8220;where the next generation of Xbox is being crafted right now&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>So yeah &#8211; stuff is happening in this place! What kind of stuff? That&#8217;s anyone&#8217;s guess, although they&#8217;ve already mentioned a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.purexbox.com\/guides\/next-xbox-console-everything-we-know-so-far-about-microsofts-next-gen-system\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">next-gen console (or maybe console<strong>s<\/strong>) that&#8217;s in the works<\/a>, and there&#8217;s a belief that they&#8217;re working on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.purexbox.com\/news\/2025\/05\/report-xbox-elite-series-3-is-real-and-its-improved-leaps-and-bounds-over-the-elite-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Xbox Elite Series 3 controller<\/a> as well. Probably a few surprises too!<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully we find out more ASAP, but clearly they&#8217;re still invested in hardware over at Xbox HQ right now.<\/p>\n<p>What are your thoughts on this?
