Is your launch day
Xbox One seemingly a little grey around the temples these days, and you don't see the point in upgrading to an Xbox One S or the more powerful Xbox One X? Well, we know that
Microsoft is currently developing its next generation Xbox console, and a new report suggests that the device may be a little over two years away.
This information comes from
Thurrott, which indicates that the next Xbox is being developed under the codename Scarlett. However, the big news is that there won't just be a single device launched, as was the case with the Xbox, Xbox 360 and Xbox One. Instead, Scarlett encompasses an entire family of devices.
The devices will reportedly launch in 2020, but given Microsoft's previous launch windows, we should expect the device no later than around October 2020.
What is unknown, however, is what will differentiate these rumored multiple Xbox devices. One possible scenario is that we could see a “standard” next-gen entry in the same vein as the Xbox One S along with a chest-thumping 4K beast like the current
Xbox One X. One other possibility is that Microsoft could produce an even lower-cost basic streaming box that is compatible with Xbox wireless controllers and only supports streaming content. This is just a hypothesis on our part, but it
could be possible given Microsoft's intention to bring game streaming to all types of devices.
