- Microsoft could unveil new hardware this year, according to Windows Central
- The publication says it has heard “credible rumors” suggesting an OEM “Xbox” PC could be unveiled in 2026
- Windows Central warned that “time will tell” if this disclosure will happen
A new report suggests that Microsoft plans to unveil the first look at new Xbox hardware this year, which will include its OEM Xbox PC.
According to Windows Central, there’s a chance we’ll see more “Xbox” branded OEM hardware in 2026 that will take advantage of the Xbox Full Screen Experience on Windows, like the recently released Xbox Ally.
The publication claims that it has “worked through some credible rumors” that we could see Microsoft unveil an OEM “Xbox” PC this year, despite the company’s poor Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S sales in 2025, but did not reveal further details about this hybrid device’s capabilities.
It’s also important to note that while Windows Central has heard “credible rumors,” it cautioned that “time will tell” whether this disclosure will pan out.
In addition to an OEM Xbox PC, Windows Central also said that the Xbox Elite Controller Series 3 will be unveiled in 2026, along with potential new controller revisions, according to sources.
Rumors about the next Xbox console have been circulating for a while now, and in October, Xbox president Sarah Bond said that the next-gen Xbox will be a premium piece of hardware, suggesting that it will be more like a PC console hybrid.
While Windows Central claims that new hardware could be unveiled this year, additional rumors suggest that the Xbox, as well as the PS6, are targeting a 2027 launch.
