【journey into submission: dynamic of eroticism, part i by vixenlaflamme】

This week Xbox announced a new strategic partnership with chip maker AMD to deliver “cutting-edge graphics” to “future Xbox consoles.”

Xbox President Sarah Bond made the announcement in a video posted to X that was big on journey into submission: dynamic of eroticism, part i by vixenlaflammehype and short on details, but we did learn a few small tidbits. We now know for sure that a new Xbox console is coming… eventually. Bond confirmed that the console will be powered by AMD silicon and will have backward compatibility with players' existing libraries of games. Thanks to Bond’s video, we also know the next-gen Xbox console won’t be “locked to a single store or tied to one device.” That sure makes the Xbox sound more like a gaming PC than a traditional console.

This is part of Microsoft’s all-of-the-above approach to Xbox and gaming, with the company embracing cloud gaming, an ASUS partnership, and potentially even third-party devices.

So, besides a new Xbox console, what other Xbox hardware is in the works?

Microsoft has already revealed the 2025 launch of the ROG Xbox Ally X and the ROG Xbox Ally. Regarding a potential release date, so far the Microsoft website simply says “Holiday 2025” and “Email When Available,” but some leakers suggest preorders could start as early as August. In terms of pricing, Microsoft has been quiet, likely because of tariff-related uncertainty.

The new handheld gaming consoles are part of a collaboration with Asus, which makes the ROG Ally.

Gamers will be able to play PC games as well as their Xbox favorites on the new handhelds. The Xbox Ally X comes loaded with 24GB of RAM and 1TB of storage, while the Xbox Ally comes with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage.

Is an Xbox VR headset also coming soon?

Back in 2024, Meta announced that it would allow third parties to build devices with the Quest 3 operating system. At the time, Zuckerberg also teased a partnership with Microsoft to deliver an Xbox Meta Quest VR headset. As Laptop Mag reports, Xbox is set “to build upon it's (sic) partnership with Meta following Xbox Cloud Gaming's arrival to Horizon OS by developing a limited edition Meta Quest headset.”

Rumors also point to a possible 2025 launch of a potential Xbox VR headset, though this is far from confirmed.

Like we said, Microsoft is very much taking an all-of-the-above approach to gaming, and we aren’t mad about it.
