We are just a few hours away from Xbox Hold your event to talk about the future of the company. Between rumors that claim that the company would stop making consoles, and reports that indicate a radical change for this division of Microsoft, new information has come to light, and it paints a positive future, since it is said, not one, but two Xbox consoles that would arrive in 2026, and one of these would be similar to the Nintendo Switch.
According to Magg, a user of the Xbox community who claims to have inside information in his possession, the Microsoft division would already be working on its next generation of consoles. The interesting thing is that here we would see two pieces of hardware. The first would be a high-performance platform, similar to the Xbox Serieswhile the second would be somewhat more interesting.
Magg information has indicated that the second Xbox console for its next generation It would be a hybrid platform, similar to the Nintendo Switch, which will allow you to play titles like Starfield in portable mode, and then connect this device to a dock to continue enjoying this experience on a television. Along with this, it has been mentioned that these two pieces of hardware would be available in 2026, which is two years longer than previous internal documents indicated.
Unfortunately, at the moment there is no more information about it and, as always, there is no type of confirmation from Xbox or Microsoft. This is just one of the many rumors that have reached the ears of the public in recent days.but, unlike most, this one paints a positive future for this company.
Let us remember that after rumors that Xbox would stop manufacturing consoles, Phil Spencer assured his employees that the company will continue working on hardware. Along with this, the division that is responsible for developing hardware was replaced by the Surface team. Finally, taking into consideration the success that the Switch, Steam Deck and ROG Ally have had, It would not be a surprise to hear that Xbox is planning to fully enter this industry in its next generation.
Considering that Xbox's special presentation on its future will take place today, It seems that it is only a matter of a couple of hours until all the rumors, or at least most of them, are clarified. In related topics, it is mentioned that “every screen is an Xbox.” Likewise, Xbox would be the reason why there is no Nintendo Direct yet.
Editor's Note:
While the idea of having a hybrid console up and running is interesting, having two platforms at the same time can be a problem. If Xbox plays its cards right, 2026 can be a fresh starting point for them, they just need to release exactly what players need at that time.
