Microsoft is developing a new Xbox video game console, set to be the next generation model.
** мікрософт prez Sarah Bond affirmed on Tuesday that her squad is developing a brand-new Xbox video game консоль**.
"We're pumping cash into our next-gen hardware line-up across console, handheld, PC, cloud, and accessories," Bond expressed in a video uploaded on X.
The chips fuelling this new hardware will be co-created with Silicon Valley-based Advanced Micro Devices (AMD).
"We've set up a strategic, multi-year partnership with AMD to co-engineer silicon across a variety of devices, which includes our next-gen Xbox consoles," Bond added.
Microsoft unveiled its first Xbox-branded handheld gaming devices earlier this month, hyping them as a way to play its massive library of titles anywhere.
Two "ROG Xbox Ally" models, the result of a partnership with Taiwan-based ASUS, will be available by the year-end holiday season, according to Bond, during an online event showcasing games slated for the platform.
Microsoft hinted at revealing pricing and release date details for Xbox Ally in the coming months.

At Xbox, our aim is for you to play the games you want with the folks you want, wherever you want," Bond said in the video.
