Overview
- On an earnings call, AMD CEO Lisa Su said work on a semi-custom SoC for the next Xbox is progressing to support a 2027 launch.
- The comment indicates AMD readiness rather than a confirmed timeline from Microsoft.
- Microsoft previously confirmed a multi-year co-engineering partnership with AMD to develop custom silicon for future Xbox hardware.
- The collaboration also covers next-generation Xbox Cloud Gaming server infrastructure.
- The update shifts expectations from earlier leaked 2028 targets as Microsoft describes the system as a premium hybrid console–PC experience, with Xbox president Sarah Bond calling it a very high-end curated product.
