Microsoft is planning to refresh its Xbox Series X and S consoles in October 2024, with the codenamed Brooklin Xbox Series X refresh featuring a 6nm die shrink of the existing APU with Zen2/RDNA2 architecture, targeting "4K Gen9 console gaming" with enhanced on-board Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.2, and a new rounded design.
The Xbox Series S refresh, codenamed Ellewood, will retain the current console's design but include an upgraded controller and support for new connectivity options, including Wi-Fi 6E and BT 5.2. Both consoles will get a new controller called Sebile, which will support rechargeable and removable batteries and feature other immersive enhancements.
Microsoft is also rumored to be working on a next-generation Xbox console, which is expected to launch in 2028. The next-gen Xbox is rumored to feature either an ARM64 or AMD64-based CPU, with the latter being Zen6. It is also expected to come equipped with a GPU incorporating AMD IP based on Navi 5 (RDNA5). The console will also incorporate an NPU (Neural Processing Unit) and support Next-Gen DirectX Raytracing.
Microsoft is still deciding on the ARM64 or Zen6 architectures for the next-gen Xbox, and it is important to note that all of the information about the next-gen Xbox is still rumors and speculation. However, the fact that this information was leaked from FTC vs. Microsoft case documents suggests that it is likely accurate.
