Passionategeekz On June 18, Microsoft Xbox President Sarah Bond announced today that he had reached an ongoing cooperation with AMD on first-party hardware, and the two parties will jointly design a variety of device chips including the next-generation Xbox console.
In addition, she has announced the latest developments on Xbox consoles, promising that the new hardware “in the living room, in the palm of your hand” will be fully compatible with the player’s existing game library.
The code-named “Kennan” project announced by Microsoft at its Xbox launch conference earlier this month (Passionategeekz Note: the Xbox Ally handheld console in collaboration with Asus) has attracted market attention. Some users have expressed concerns about the compatibility of the Xbox ecosystem, especially considering that Xbox CEO Phil Spencer previously mentioned the idea of ”introducing a third-party store to the console.”
In response to these concerns, Bond made a clear response in this video statement: “We are working with AMD to promote game chip technology innovation, ensuring compatibility with existing Xbox game libraries while improving picture quality, immersive experience and AI applications.”
Regarding the details of the collaboration, Bond said: “This strategic multi-year collaboration will cover our next generation Xbox console series.”
She specifically pointed out that the device usage scenarios include “in the living room, in the palm of your hand”, implying that in addition to the “Xbox Ally” that cooperated with Asus, Microsoft is still planning its own brand handheld device. She also mentioned that Microsoft’s Xbox division is collaborating with the Windows team to “ensure Windows is the number one gaming platform.”
At the end of the video, she also highlights Microsoft’s openness principle: “Our vision is to allow players to play games they want with anyone anytime, anywhere, and ensure a cross-device experience. Xbox is committed to designing for players – not limited to a single store or device.”
