devices but Xbox is promising to launch
Next Generation consolle soon with the
most advanced and unconventional console
ever made and the best part it might
have more games than any other console
in history

this is Colt Eastwood welcome back to
the channel today we're going to talk
about the new Next Generation console
and how it's going to change everything
if you end up enjoying this video let me
know by liking and subscribing to the
channel hit the Bell to be notified of
new content and let's talk about Xbox in
2026 the past two Xbox console
Generations have been played with
passable power in performance and the
long wait for games this has lowered the
ability for Xbox to push sales enough in
the console market so it's surprising to
hear that Microsoft is allowing Xbox to
start another console generation and it
could start as early as 2026 or
2027 rumors of a twood device approach a
handheld in a traditional console box
have surfaced amongst insiders and games
media journalists who have been talking
to Hardware sources even with Xbox's own
Phil Spencer basically telling IGN that
Xbox will have their own handheld soon
there is something so shockingly
unexpected and Industry gamechanging
with the new Xbox console plan that will
show why this new Xbox console is so
unique Xbox is secretly working on a
universal Xbox dashboard that will unify
the interface and the whole Xbox
experience across any device that is
supported by the Xbox kernel and windows
platforms this means that anyone with a
gaming PC rig now or into the future
could download and install the entire
Xbox dashboard on their desktop PC
laptop or even new handhelds and this is
integral to what Xbox is doing with
their next console but why would Xbox
want their experience their dashboard
and their ecosystem with their games
available on any device that is not just
an Xbox console this would cannibalize
the opportunity for people to buy a new
Xbox and all of this would make it
possible for gaining new Xbox customers
but the new console wouldn't just be a
traditional Xbox console rumors have
been circulating that the Microsoft
service team has partnered with the Xbox
Hardware team to build a console Windows
hybrid setop device a set toop Xbox
console that shares the latest windows
but also has the entire Xbox dashboard
experience which of course brings
forward all of the games that are
available on the Xbox series right now
which includes Backward Compatible Xbox
original games Xbox 360 60 and Xbox One
titles and since this new Xbox console
hybrid is fully based on the current
version of Windows it will also be able
to natively install Steam epic Gog
Ubisoft EA and much more to give you
access to any and all of the games you
want to own or play on PC but those
games will be fully playable on the Xbox
console and its new hardware this would
be the first console in history to offer
more games than have ever been offered
before with some 6,000 Xbox titles that
are now available on the current Xbox
and the millions of games that are
across all of the PC platforms as long
as you are logged into those accounts
right now thanks to the popularity and
success of PC gaming handhelds like the
rag Ali Lenovo go and steam deck PC
versions of games are already able to
detect the customized Hardware in these
handhelds and set the games to run
accordingly with the software and their
Hardware Ware this means that with just
a few adjustments the Xbox console
hybrid could play native PC games on
Steam through their interface and their
storefront utilizing whatever power is
built into the next Xbox console all of
your Xbox console titles plus PC games
using the hardware and the performance
you would get the full new Universal
Xbox dashboard set to run across Xbox
supported devices on this new Xbox
hybrid console with Windows built under
underneath which means you also get a
conventional gaming PC of course native
Xbox console versions of games would be
developed utilizing new features for the
performance which for the first time
ever will have a silicon based Ai
upscaling and frame rate Boost Set for
performance as for the hardware and
capabilities the new NextGen Xbox may
not specifically prioritize raw power
and instead be the first video game
console built with key AI integration in
mind Microsoft has invested tremendous
amounts of money into Ai and its
co-pilot Tech is helping revolutionize
productivity and oems are teasing AI
based PCS and AI chips are in high
demand right now you can get games that
will produce extra frames and upscale
resolution in games to make them look
and feel better even as games get more
demanding the possibility of having
onboard AI accelerators potentially the
npu or neural Processing Unit Co
processors that work alongside the
highly customized chipset leaks from
Microsoft suggests that they could
utilize the arm 64 CPU instead of x64
CPU the reason for this Choice may be
made with AI in mind meaning that Xbox
could go with arm architecture over the
regular AMD that they've been using for
their consoles over the past several
decades another big reason why Microsoft
would select this kind of chip is
because of cloud compute arm is better
suited for this kind of integration for
boosting performance and getting games
looking sharper Microsoft could leverage
Ai and cloudtech to streamline various
processes most importantly the frame
rate interpolation that modern TVs
already do but those introduce so much
latency behind the controls it isn't
really viable for gaming but frame rate
interpolation in the silicon and with
Hardware support AI powered frame rate
prediction would allow lower spec
Hardware like this Xbox hybrid console
compared to big gaming piec
to run highquality games at 60 FPS and
Beyond especially since Advanced Unreal
Engine Tech and realistic Graphics are
so demanding on Modern Hardware right
now the concept of having a new
unconventional Xbox that is also a PC
hybrid with literally millions of games
available the most choice and most value
bringing this experience to all Gamers
is a GameChanger providing Gamers with a
conventional console box for their TV
with the most powerful Hardware that's
also boosted by AI generative
performance all on what will probably
become the new gaming standard being
able to play your games however you want
the next Xbox will likely guide the
games industry with more choice and this
all could start as soon as
2026 this is cold Eastwood thank you so
much for checking out this video if you
got anything from what we discussed it
is that the next Xbox console is also
going to be a PC that's pretty much what
I think is going to happen and unlike
anything else your PC can play millions
and millions of games and one thing it
can't play is a digital library of over
6,000 games you can buy right now or
that you already own and you can play
there are so many games in backward
compatibility that are only available
thanks to Xbox's back compat program so
it makes this incredible Universal
system where you could take that
experience whether it be on just a
regular Xbox console across PC handhelds
the cloud and so much more it's really
going to be interesting and I think
it'll push the industry to open up and
allow their games to be played in more
ways now I think that Nintendo and
Playstation will take a while to get to
that point but this is really what it's
been about with Xbox and PC for over a
decade if you ended up enjoying this

there with middle AG game guy and we
bring in guests occasionally that's a
good show that's also available on
Spotify Google and apple podcasts on
demand after the point if you want to
check out that show but I want to know
what you think about the Xbox console
this hybrid this Windows SL Xbox PC box
and I know you can just buy a PC but
think about it Xbox is going to provide
this
pretty performative box for about 600
maybe 700 probably $600 in the US and
you'll get access to millions of games
and I wonder if it will truly get them
to compete in the market and that's what
we really need I want to know what your
opinion is in the comment section and
while you're there as I always say
please be nice
