Xbox Series X | S and PlayStation 5 hit the market in November 2020, with new-generation hardware from AMD, the company that has been responsible for making the APUs for the latest generations of both companies’ consoles. Now everything seems to indicate that the company would be working on new versions of Xbox Series and PlayStation 5according to a recent job offer they posted.
Although not even two years have passed since the launch of the consoles, it seems that both Microsoft and Sony are already thinking about intergenerational models, something that has been rumored for a long time, as well as the possibility of releasing a portable Xbox Series, among other issues. The job listing is for a Silicon Verification Engineer position, and specifies what you will be able to see next.

As we can observe, AMD is looking for an engineer for AMD’s semi-custom business unit, which focuses on custom SoC designs for video game consoles, reason why there is speculation about new versions of Xbox Series and PlayStation.

Now it would be necessary to see if these new versions of the new generation consoles of the two companies would be focused on offering smaller and more efficient models (also known as Slim) or if, on the contrary, Microsoft and Sony would be looking to offer more powerful hardware.
From here we think that this second option would not make much sense. In the first place, because the consoles do not reach 2 years on the market; and secondly, because we have not yet been able to see a game that really takes advantage of all the advantages of the new generation, due to the problems of the stock and the lengthening that has been made of the last generation, as all show the intergenerational launches that there are.
