Overview
- AMD’s Lisa Su said the custom SoC is on track for 2027, but Microsoft insiders describe that timing as a best‑case target rather than a commitment.
- Reporting says the system will run full Windows 11 with a TV‑first interface and support major PC stores, with Epic Games Store confirmed for day one and Steam reported.
- Microsoft is planning a first‑party baseline console while working with OEMs such as ASUS on additional models across price points, and a first‑party handheld remains under consideration.
- Pricing is undecided, with reports pointing to a more premium offering as tariffs, component costs and memory constraints complicate forecasts.
- Current Xbox Series X|S consoles are expected to be supported for an extended period to avoid cutting off existing players.
