Microsoft’s next-gen console plans reportedly include an Xbox Series X successor and a handheld “take on the Steam Deck” | Gaming

With the PS5 Pro storming out to store shelves later this year, the absence of a mid-generation refresh for the Xbox Series X is even more notable. But Microsoft is reportedly focusing on its next-gen hardware plans instead.

Team Xbox opted for two versions of its console for this generation, split between the traditional high-tech Xbox Series X and the more affordable, all-digital Xbox Series S. That dual-strategy is apparently going to continue into the next console generation, according to a Windows Central report discussing the platform’s plans for its 25th anniversary.
