After many rumors surrounding Xbox’s future as a platform, Microsoft has finally revealed its plans via a special episode of the Official Xbox Podcast. During the show, the president of Xbox Sarah Bond revealed that new Xbox hardware will be revealed during the holidays this year.During Microsoft’s acquisition Blizzard acquisition last year, documents were leaked about Xbox Series X|S mid-gen upgrades planned for this year. According to Sarah Bond, we can expect to hear about new Xbox hardware “this holiday.”Additionally, Bond also confirmed that Microsoft is “focused” on the next Xbox console generation, which will be “delivering the largest technical leap you will have ever seen in a hardware generation.” Whether or not the next generation will be discussed alongside the other hardware during the holidays is unknown.While not confirming that Microsoft is working on handheld hardware, elsewhere during the show, Xbox boss Phil Spencer said: “I’m a big fan of handhelds[…] but nothing to announce.” That’s certainly not a no, so we’ll have our fingers crossed that a handheld Xbox console will be revealed later this year.Microsoft has also announced that Diablo 4 will join Xbox Game Pass in March and that four games will be going to rival platforms.
