AMD mentions next Xbox in earnings call and talks about 2027 target

AMD has publicly addressed the development of the next Xbox generation for the first time in a recent earnings call. The statement mentions a launch window for 2027. No specific product details about the console were released.

The focus is on a quote from AMD CEO Lisa Su, who discussed several hardware projects during the call.

Lisa Su: Development of next Xbox “progressing well”

Microsoft’s next console is mentioned directly in the transcript of the earnings call. It states that development of a next-gen Xbox with an AMD semi-custom SoC is progressing well to support a launch in 2027.

The quote reads:

“From a product standpoint, Valve is on track to begin shipping its AMD-powered Steam Machine early this year. And development of Microsoft’s next-gen Xbox featuring an AMD semi-custom SoC is progressing well to support a launch in 2027.”

This is the first time that 2027 has been mentioned as a possible target date in an official context.

Reference to 2027 also elsewhere in the call

In addition to the direct statement, 2027 is also mentioned in another part of the transcript. There, a “next-gen Xbox ramping” is quoted for 2027. Again, no additional details are given, but the reference underscores the timing.

No confirmation of a fixed release year

The statement from the earnings call is considered an official reference, but does not constitute a confirmed release. It remains unclear whether 2027 is actually intended to be the final release year.

However, the report also mentions concerns about possible RAM bottlenecks in new hardware. Again, no specific date is given.

Possible announcements could follow in 2026

It is also noted that, with a target date of 2027, more information about the console could be expected next year at the latest. However, no specific announcement or official schedule is mentioned.
