A curious data bomb has exploded with the mega leak of Microsoft with the tons of documents relating to the company (and even the Xbox) now circulating on the web about their case against the FTC in this whole acquisition mess Activision.
Very recently, derived from this case, we discovered, to the surprise and laughter of many, that the company at some point considered a strategy to buy Nintendo. Something that, as we all saw, never happened.
And now another equally impressive bomb is dropped, with the leak of Microsoft’s plans for a future generation console that, in theory, would be the latest in technology adopting some trends in the sector that are just beginning to become popular.
The interesting thing about all this is that it gives us a clear look at the pace and vision with which work is being done in this sector, always looking towards the future and betting on what could be most innovative and commercially profitable in the industry.
Today, thanks to this oversight, we know the details of the system that the company would launch at the end of this decade.
This would be the Xbox that Microsoft would launch in 2028 with Next-Gen Ray Tracing hybrid computing and more
A juicy article from the editorial team of The Vergewhich has thoroughly explored all the documents of the leak related to the FTC, has given us all the details about the future console that Microsoft would launch in five years.
The article reveals how the company has the vision of developing a future generation hybrid gaming platform capable of harnessing the combined power of hardware and the processing power of the cloud, achieving a hybrid computing system to offer deeper immersion and new kinds of gaming experiences.
In the documents circulating we can see how the firm concludes that gamers could enjoy better entertainment experiences using the combined power of an economical and potentially portable device with its xCloud platform operating together.
The article also mentions that Microsoft has been exploring the idea of a hybrid approach to gaming for quite some time now and that this would end up confirming information that some other previous, less supported reports hinted at.
Perhaps the best example of this is Microsoft Flight Simulator, which uses data received and processed from the cloud to offer photorealistic landscapes in the gaming experience.
There is even talk of a potential alliance with the people at AMD for this project that would still be five years away from materializing.
The point of controversy is that a project of these characteristics would require thinking about the development of a neural processing unit (NPU) to support its operation.
So maybe it’s a little far from being realized.
