Insider and journalist Jez Corden, who specializes in rumors about Microsoft, spoke in a podcast about the company's plans for further developing its gaming division. Despite criticism from players in recent years and disappointing sales figures, Microsoft management believes in the Xbox brand. Current focus of its gaming division is on supporting and developing the current generation of Xbox consoles, but it is already thinking about releasing a next-generation device.

Jez Corden did not disclose details about the new Xbox console, noting that many elements are still being designed, and he does not want to engage in speculation. Previously, there were widespread rumors that Microsoft was planning to abandon console releases in favor of cloud gaming. According to Corden, these rumors are not true. The company is currently preparing to launch a new console and is simultaneously working on a separate portable device.

It is noted that the portable Xbox device will not be an analog of the PlayStation Portal. It will be a more standalone device, capable of running games on its own hardware.
