*For an idea of how the Gen 10 Xbox will function, you can look to the current Xbox Ally.*
*The Xbox interface will sit on top of Windows, disabling unnecessary processes to create a gaming-first environment. You will be able to exit out to full Windows, much like you can exit out to Linux on the Steam Deck, and run practically any program or accessory you can think of.*
*The difference here is that the Gen-10 Xbox “PC” will also run all of your current Xbox games, in addition to games from Windows 11 PC stores like Steam.*
**RELEASE DATE**:
*Microsoft hasn’t fully, internally committed to a hard 2027 launch window for the next-gen Xbox platform, since so much of it hinges on improvements to Windows 11 and other factors.*
*Microsoft’s Windows and Xbox teams are collaborating harder than ever to get the OS into shape for a polished, console-like experience on Xbox. Thus, they aren’t forcing themselves to adhere to a specific hard cut-off point. You can think of 2027 as the “best case scenario,” but having a polished experience is the north star for Xbox.*
**THIRD-PARTY XBOX HARDWARE**:
*I’m told Microsoft is also working with OEMs such as ASUS and the like, to build a variety of options for next-gen Xbox gamers across a range of price points, like the two Xbox Ally models. Despite rumors to the contrary, I’m told Microsoft also still wants to make a first-party Xbox handheld eventually too, even if the traditional next-gen Xbox console is the focus for now.*
