Mid gen refresh in time for Starfield?

 

[lh032]

probably a more powerful console to complete with the current PS5.
I mean Series S/X is competing with PS4 in Japan currently.

Xbox Mini-fridge X

-Overclocked compressor
-Larger internal volume
-Crisper drawer

We had to buy a fridge last week. Wife would let me get the Xbox Series X one.

 

[Celcius]

I think its just an art installation showing their history. And it ends saying "and into the future!" Its nothing. Makes sense to remind devs they are staying in it long term since its GDC. I dont think its anything beyond that, but who knows.

This is what I'm thinking as well

 

[legacy24]

oh look a 16TF console that can play games like Hifi rush that could run a fucking PS2!

Dreamcast, please.

 

[DavidGzz]

Xbox Series Y the fook not?

 

[jshackles]

Next one should be the series S in portable form. They have to be close.

I would love to see them compete in the handheld market with something like a Steam Deck. Even if it was totally on par with the Steam Deck specs wise, it'd obviously be much more mass-produced and marketed. The gaming press would draw parallels between it and the Switch (rather than it and the PS5), and I think it'd be a big win for them.

Game Pass and cloud streaming built in, access to your Xbox game library, etc. and this thing would sell like hotcakes.

Pics from the booth,


A new reveal may be revealed soon before the week of GDC is over. I wonder what is going to be in that empty case next to the "?" mark? Each other display has an Xbox console from the first in 2011, until 2020 with the Series X, with the year of launch next to each one.

There are rumors of a Slim and Pro, and earlier there was talkis about the Xbox "Series" consoles possibly having more letters than S and X, which was supposedly why the "series" name was chosen iirc.

Of course until they tell us we won't know, but I wonder what they are going to show that's going to slot into that empty case. Probably either a new letter or a pro I'm guessing.

Curiously, they skipped over the 360 Slim and Elite, but have Xbox One S and One X on display with the original.

Did I wake up in an alternate timeline this morning?

 

[Ozriel]

It probably just means the future. Something next after the Xbox Series consoles. Could even represent their next gen, 2028 console

that would be moronic.

This is exactly it. People always need to read something into nothing.

 

[Comandr]

Xbox Portable Console, similar to the Switch or Steam Deck.

I would actually love to see this. Hell, I would really love to see a partnership between Microsoft and Valve. Valve designs and Microsoft sponsors the creation of the hardware.

Every new uhh.. Xbox Portable ships with full fat windows 11. A fully redesigned Xbox app for engagement with Xbox/first party titles, and Steam with its library, performance monitoring and control built right in. Plug it into the dock, and the power ramps up, unhooking the system's portable TDP limit. Whether on controller or with keyboard and mouse, its now a full fledged windows computer with a focus on gaming first. But hey, if you want to use this thing as a regular computer for browsing, video consumption, typing up papers with Office, be my guest. Take it off the dock, and you've got an Xbox Series S power level console on the go, with a 1080p screen, a lot of the GPU grunt that would be pushed to resolution can be dialed back to save power or turned to maximum graphic fidelity.

 

[tusharngf]

streaming console?

 

[VAVA Mk2]

Xbox Series X One X

 

[Duchess]

One thing we can all be absolutely certain of is that it won't be a fucking game.

 

[DGrayson]

Should call this one the One Box X

 

[TGO]

Shit got crazy after 2005.

 

[LostDonkey]

Excited!

 

[Azurro]

Xbox Series XXX - includes a year length OnlyFans subscription, including never before seen Mia Khalifa footage and Phil Spencer's new channel where he, dressed only in a tutu, whispers to your ear all about the sweet, sweet games that will maybe, some time in the future, perhaps, come to Xbox.

 

[Rippa]

They’ll announce that they’re moving away from console and are just going to expand GamePass to other platforms. You’ll only be able to rent their games in the future, obviously requiring a subscription.

[Ozriel]

that would be moronic.

No. It wouldn’t be.

Using a question mark to represent the unknown isn’t something new.

 

[lh032]

No. It wouldn’t be.

Using a question mark to represent the unknown isn’t something new.

that would be kinda dumb because we all know there would be a next gen console anyway, and we are still in 2023 now xD

 

[SlimySnake]

Good. Hope they have learned their lessons from the series x and go for unified ram and higher clocks.

Price it $599 and stop worrying about what ps5 pro is going to do. Even with the x1x they worried too much about the damn tflops when they should’ve added a better cpu instead.

 

[Brigandier]

You might end up thankful for a Pro model soon enough. I feel that once UE5 games start flowing, we will see a lot of 30fps games on XSX and PS5.

Trust me most people are happy with 30fps....

 

[TGO]

Funny how they shit out consoles so fast yet games takes years.
Not even the games they showed at the original showcase are out yet

 

[adamsapple]

Epic did go out of their way to add Lumen/Nanite 60 FPS support for the new consoles.

So ...

 

[Abriael_GN]

Funny how they shit out consoles so fast yet games takes years.

Funny how people actually think this is teasing a new console.

It's a nothingburger X.

 

[Puscifer]

Sounds like a MidGenRefresh

 

[deriks]

The Xbox Series XS and Xbox Series XX.

So Pornhub will launch the next next Xbox?!

@thread
It's just for teasing. Like "yeah, there will be another Xbox"

 

[DaGwaphics]

As others have said, likely just put up as something to ponder. But, since they've included the refresh models here (X1S, X1X), maybe they announce a slim or some variation/refresh of the current systems.

A lot of speculation that a PS5 slim releases as early as this holiday, maybe MS doesn't want to give Sony the entire spotlight in that area.

 

[PendekarRajawali]

Mid gen refresh my arse. This gen hasn’t even fully started.

 

[salva]

Xbox Two X - Mattrick Series

 

[Eddie-Griffin]

This is exactly it. People always need to read something into nothing.

Xbox One S and One X are there, both digital consoles are missing from the time line.

Too suspicious imo. But I guess there's two days left of GDC to find out.

 

[Eddie-Griffin]

Should call this one the One Box X

One Box for all your X.

Wait, don't do that one, lol.

 

[Raonak]

It's time.

XBOX 2

 

[Ezekiel_]

It's air, get it?

The future is cloud!

 

[Kvally]

If it is for a mid gen upgrade, let me pre-order now. If it's an XSX slim, let me order now.

 

[Eddie-Griffin]

It's time.

XBOX 2

Finally Xbox 2, the 8th console.

 

[M1chl]

Xbox Series NX with Nvidia GPU

#believe

Leather jacked with preorder

 

[RCU005]

It’s the new Series E. A mid-spec console to go between the Series S and the Series X.

 

[Drew1440]

It's clearly going to be an Xbox branded wardrobe, since Xbox is a clothing merch brand now.

 

[I Love Rock 'n' Roll]

The Xbox stick for game pass.. yeah but no thanks!

 

[ThatOneGrunt]

Even if I don't plan on getting a console, I always get excited about new hardware releases like this. I will say though that this current console generation seemed outdated before it even released. It will be interesting to see what pro models are able to accomplish.

one of the most ignorant takes i have ever read about this gen.

 

[Sorcerer]

On a side note, why has Xbox buried their GDC demos? They are only available for a week, and I wasn't even aware of them for 2 days. You literally have to type "demos" on your Xbox to find them. Just played a strange interactive movie called "The Isle Tide Hotel".

 

[ReBurn]

Xbox Mini-fridge X

-Overclocked compressor
-Larger internal volume
-Crisper drawer

If it can keep my cans just above freezing I'm in

 

[analog_future]

I don't think it'll be a "Pro" console and I doubt it'll be a slim.

My guess is a Series X w/no disc drive for $399 to compete directly with the PS5 Digital.

 

[Ash Sparrow]

Handheld time

 

[Iced Arcade]

I think it will be the cloud streaming device with a Call Of Duty font
