Microsoft Teams Up with AMD to Power the Future of Xbox Gaming

Despite the rumors, Microsoft has announced that it is developing the new generation of its Xbox console, for which it has partnered with AMD. A partnership with which it promises to offer an Xbox experience without being limited to its own game store or a single device. The collaboration with AMD will be multi-year, bringing AMD’s silicon technology to a range of devices including its next-generation Xbox desktop and laptop console.

In addition to consoles, this collaboration will also enable the development of the next generation of Xbox Cloud Gaming. Microsoft’s idea is to create a complete gaming platform to play on different devices anywhere, all this with the experience offered by Xbox. Microsoft wants Windows to be the leading platform for gaming, a platform that can be extended to a multitude of third-party consoles that can make use of Xbox software.

Sarah Bond has told us this in a brief video of just over 1 minute that you can see below, and where she has also highlighted this collaboration with AMD to take graphic quality to the next level, along with an immersive and improved gaming experience for the player thanks to AI. In addition, it has highlighted that it will maintain the compatibility of your Xbox game library, on an open platform so that you can play the games you want on the devices you want.

Statements that leave several unknowns on the table about the next generation of Microsoft consoles. It seems that Microsoft wants Xbox, in addition to its games, to be able to run those of other platforms, we understand that PC. It also looks like Xbox will be more of an app that can be installed on X86 architecture, in this case its desktops and laptops may be closer to a PC than a console.

In any case, Microsoft’s idea with Xbox is to create an ecosystem so that not only its consoles can run its games, but also expand it and take performance and profit by allowing its software to run on other devices.
