The next Xbox console could be coming sooner than players might have guessed, at least according to a pair of reliable industry insiders. Microsoft released both the Xbox Series X and less powerful Xbox Series S systems as part of the ongoing ninth generation of consoles on November 10, 2020. Since then, these Xbox consoles have competed with the PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch, bolstered by exclusive titles like Halo Infinite and the increasingly popular Xbox Game Pass.
