The next generation of XBox will be released before PS6 in 2026, and Microsoft’s new console will use Zen 5 CPU | Traditionally, the life cycle of game consoles is about 6 to 7 years, and the latest generation of XBox Series and PS5 have only been launched for 3 years. Players We are currently only looking forward to the half-generation upgrade of the “Pro machine” rather than knocking on the next-generation console so soon; however, recent news and analysis pointed out that Microsoft has a high chance of launching the next-generation XBox console early, possibly as early as 2026. Launching PS6 first, there is great momentum to counterattack PlayStation in an all-round way.

Will use Zen 5 CPU to launch before PS6

“RedGamingTech”, a foreign YouTube channel whose main content is analyzing the video game industry, recently uploaded a piece of news and analysisFilm, said that according to its source, Microsoft plans to launch the next-generation XBox console in 2026. According to documents disclosed in Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard, AMD’s Zen 6 architecture should still not be completed in 2026. In other words, the new XBox will be driven by the Zen 5 CPU and RDNA 5 architecture.

If this news is true, then 2024 is already around the corner. It is very likely that Microsoft will not launch a half-generation upgrade (Pro machine) of the XBox Series, but will directly transition to the next generation of XBox.

It is worth mentioning that Zen 5 is currently only mentioned in the roadmap released by AMD and has not been officially released, while Zen 6 has not been mentioned. The current information related to these two new CPUs mainly comes from various sources related to AMD. The current XBox Series

As for why Microsoft would change the usual console life cycle and launch the next-generation console early, it is because it wants to reproduce the successful strategy of the Xbox 360 era: launching a console compared to its opponent (PlayStation 6). Although the hardware performance of the console will lose to the opponent, it is relatively Microsoft can sell the console at a cheaper price (than PS6), and then launch a half-generation upgrade with stronger hardware performance three years later.

The source also mentioned that it is still unknown how many versions the next-generation XBox will have, but it is believed that there will be a low-end version like the XBox Series, and this low-end version will use Cloud Gaming technology to reduce the impact on hardware performance. Require. Considering that Microsoft has actively developed and promoted Game Pass and Cloud gaming businesses in recent years, this revelation is also reasonable.

There is of course no official announcement or response to the leaks about the next-generation XBox console; but if the leaks are true, 2026 is not that far away now, and maybe there will be further news in the next year or two.

It can be seen here that the taste of Time magazine may be different from that of Asian players; I believe that many Hong Kong or Taiwanese game fans will decisively believe that “Tears of the Kingdom” is the number one game of the year; although “Tears of the Kingdom Without Tears” is outstanding and great game, but after all, it is limited by the functions of the Switch. Even though the gameplay is very high, the functional experience is undeniably inferior to other masterpiece games. It may not be the best choice for players who value visual enjoyment and smoothness. .

As for the champion Alan Wake II, although it is also a well-received masterpiece, it still has to be compared with this year’s highest-rated overall works such as “Baldur’s Gate 3”, “Resident Evil 4”, “Super Mario Bros. Wonder”, etc. There is a slight gap (at least Alan Wake 2 does not exceed 90 points on the rating statistics website Metacritic), but this may mean that Time Magazine saw something in the game that other critics did not see. If you haven’t played it yet, you might as well give it a try. .

There is also the fact that AC6 Mech Combat Mercenary VI Realm Skyfire did not make the top ten, and the reporter expressed dissatisfaction.

Progress cannot be reset quickly but the +1 method can be used

Although “The Night Before Forgetting” can use guest login, each device only corresponds to one guest account, and there is no method to quickly delete the progress, which is not very friendly to the first brush. Fortunately, the game can still at least use the “+1” method to refresh the first draw. However, new accounts cannot be registered in the game. Instead, you have to go to the official website of the Traditional Chinese version of “Qookka Games” to apply for a new account and then log in to the game. Come and brush the first stroke; if you are quick, it will take about 10 minutes to brush once.
