A recent Fortune article outlines potential future hardware plans for the Xbox brand, including a handheld device and a successor to current home consoles. These details remain speculative, as the report discusses internal targets rather than confirmed official announcements.
The report suggests an Xbox handheld is slated for release in 2027, though it remains unclear if this will be a proprietary device or a collaboration similar to existing ROG handhelds. Additionally, a new home console is reportedly targeted for 2028.
Internal projections place the cost of the 2028 console between $1,200 and $1,800 USD, which equates to approximately $2,500 AUD. This high price point is attributed to rising costs for storage and RAM, with performance expected to align with a 5080-class GPU.
Beyond hardware, the article indicates that Xbox Game Pass may undergo a major overhaul, allowing users to select specific service components. Furthermore, the report mentions that additional layoffs are anticipated within the company during November and January.
