Famous for its leaks TheGhostofHopeAccording to a rumor from reliable sources, the next Xbox He stated that the console could be released in late 2026 with a new Call of Duty game to be released that year.

Under normal circumstances, this is not the first time we hear about the date pointing to the end of 2026 for this new console. YouTuber RedGamingTech first reported this rumor in December last year and stated that Microsoft could use an AMD Ryzen Zen 5 processor in its new Xbox console. This report also suggested that Microsoft would abandon the dual-SKU strategy it used with Series S and X in this generation and instead focus on a single SKU.

Next Generation Xbox Console May Arrive at the End of 2026

Microsoft wants to repeat the success it experienced with Xbox 360 with its new generation console. As of 2014, Xbox 360 had sold 84 million units. While the company’s next console, Xbox One, remains at around 58 million units, the Series S and X duo have now managed to sell just over 27 million units.

Under normal circumstances, entering the console market before its main rival is considered a risky tactic, but since it is currently far behind in console sales, Microsoft is looking to try something new. Xbox head Sarah Bond recently said that Microsoft is focused on making the biggest technical leap yet with its next-generation console.

Even if these rumors become reality and the next-gen console will be released towards the end of 2026, there are still two and a half years until then and a lot can change in the meantime.
