In a thrilling revelation, IGN unveils Microsoft's grand plans for the future of Xbox. Brace yourselves, ladies and gentlemen, for a full-on next-gen Xbox set to storm the gaming world in 2027. But wait, there's more! A first-party Xbox handheld is also on the horizon, promising portable gaming like never before. And if that's not enough to get your heart racing, a third-party Xbox handheld is revving up to hit the scene this year. It's a triple threat of gaming excellence, folks.
Picture this: a premium successor to the Xbox Series X, fully greenlit by the Microsoft CEO himself. This powerhouse of a console is poised to take the gaming world by storm. But here's the twist - it's not just any console. Oh no, this next-gen Xbox is more akin to a PC, boasting support for third-party storefronts like Steam and the Epic Games Store. Microsoft is aiming high, aiming to make Xbox hardware more appealing and affordable than ever before. Can they pull it off? Only time will tell.
And let's not forget about the handheld revolution. With multiple handheld devices in the works, including a tantalizing third-party Xbox-branded one dropping this year, the gaming landscape is set for a seismic shift. Microsoft is looking to merge Xbox and Windows experiences for PC gaming handhelds, creating a gaming experience like no other. But will this bold move pay off? The stage is set for a showdown of epic proportions in the world of gaming hardware. So buckle up, folks, because the future of Xbox is looking brighter and more exhilarating than ever before.
