According to Zhitong Finance APP, Microsoft (MSFT.US) announced on Tuesday that it has reached a multi-year cooperation agreement with Advanced Micro Devices (AMD.US), and the two parties will engage in deep technical collaboration for the tech giant's next-generation Xbox console and other devices. In a statement, Microsoft stated that this cooperation will cover "joint research and development of silicon chips across device combinations," with the next-generation Xbox console prominently included. Xbox President Sarah Bond emphasized that the new generation Xbox platform will focus on multi-device interaction, no longer limited to games within its own store ecosystem. "We are committed to building a gaming platform that is always with users, allowing players to enjoy their favorite games on any device—creating an Xbox experience that is not bound by a single store or device," Bond said in a one-minute YouTube video, adding that the new platform will maintain compatibility with the existing Xbox game library. However, she did not mention the release date of the next-generation console, only revealing that "the new generation Xbox is taking shape, this is just the beginning, and we can't wait to showcase our future plans."
