If you think that the Xbox Series X was an absolute banger, you may need to know about the currently-trending Xbox 2027 rumors. While multiple rumors are around this Xbox product, even if half of the leaks turn out to be true, it can break the Internet. So, without any further ado, let’s jump to the latest leaks and see what's actually worth believing.
Xbox Release Window and Price : Expectations
Officials have yet to name the Xbox 2027 console, and it is currently in the development phase with the rumored codename "Magnus".
Although Microsoft has not entirely committed to the upcoming Xbox release in 2027, an announcement teaser by Xbox on June 17, 2025, confirmed that AMD and Xbox have established a strategic multi-year partnership to co-engineer silicon across a portfolio of devices, along with the Windows team, to enhance the gaming experience for PC gamers, including the next-generation Xbox consoles. Sarah Bond (Xbox’s President), during that announcement, explained that the next-gen console will be a “very premium, very high-end curated experience.”
On the other hand, AMD’s CEO Lisa Su hinted at the potential release timeline for the upcoming next-gen Xbox. It all happened during the 2025 Q4 investors meeting when Lisa Su stated that “Development of Microsoft’s next-gen Xbox featuring an AMD semi-custom SoC is progressing well to support a launch in 2027” (via Tom’s Hardware).
Since Microsoft considers early-to-mid November releases, possibly a Tuesday or Friday, for holiday momentum, November 2027, perfectly fits the global rollout timing of this new-gen console; however, the launch date is yet to be confirmed by the officials. This is just a speculation from Reddit and Insiders like Jez Corden.
Shifting towards the pricing factor, it is yet to be revealed by the officials; however, many speculations from industry insiders and analysts have marked the upcoming next-gen Xbox at a whopping range of $1000-$1500.
