Today, Microsoft announced a partnership with AMD to “co-engineer silicon across a portfolio of devices,” including the next generation of Xbox consoles.
The announcement, shared on YouTube by Xbox President Sarah Bond, mentioned that the partnership will last multiple years and that the consoles in questions will both be “in your living room and in your hands.”
Bond adds that together with AMD, Microsoft aims to “advance the state of the art in gaming silicon to deliver the next generation of graphics innovation.”
She also mentioned that it’ll be “enhanced by the power of AI” and will continue to maintain compatibility with the users’ existing library of Xbox games.
Bind then touted Xbox Play Anywhere to deliver an experience “not locked to a single store or tied to one device.”
As such, Xbox is working closely with the Windows team to “ensure that Windows is the number one platform for gaming.”
