Eish, the gaming world is shook! Microsoft's next-gen Xbox is rumoured to be a console/PC hybrid that can play PlayStation games. Ja, you read that right! Imagine playing God of War or Spider-Man on your Xbox. This is thanks to the console's ability to run Steam and access games released on PC.
Is the Future of Xbox PC Gaming?
According to Windows Central, the next-gen Xbox allows users to switch to Windows, effectively turning it into a traditional PC. This opens the door to PlayStation games on Steam, as well as mouse and keyboard games from platforms like Battle.net (World of Warcraft) and Riot's launcher (League of Legends). It's like getting two consoles for the price of one, bru!
Xbox Ally X Hints at What's to Come
Xbox president Sarah Bond has hinted that the ASUS ROG Xbox Ally X handheld gives an idea of the direction Microsoft is heading. She described the next-gen console as a "very premium, very high-end curated experience." So, expect something special, but be prepared to pay a bit more for it.
Microsoft Still Planning an Xbox Handheld?
Despite partnering with ASUS for the ROG Xbox Ally, there are reports that Microsoft still plans to release its own Xbox handheld console in the future. This would likely come after the next home console and potentially offer better backwards compatibility. Imagine playing all your old Xbox games on a brand-new handheld – that would be lekker!
