Next-gen Xbox will be a huge technical leap, says Microsoft exec

In an official Xbox podcast, Sarah Bond, president of Xbox for Microsoft teased an upcoming gaming console with the "largest technical leap" thus far. She's obviously talking about the next-generation Xbox. Spencer also said in the past that Microsoft is working on optimizing Windows for handheld devices, so if the company does achieve some sort of technical breakthrough, a handheld Xbox device is likely on the cards.

She adds that Microsoft will share more about its next-generation console as well as its future roadmap this holiday season. We expect some exciting news surrounding the "largest technical leap" we've ever seen in a single hardware generation. The new hardware is said to benefit not just gamers but creators as well.

In addition to the new console, previous rumors suggest an optical driveless Xbox Series X edition and a new controller.
