Compared to Helldivers 2's success, Concord's future looks bleak unless drastic changes, like going free-to-play,...

Microsoft is rumored to be developing several upcoming titles and one of the consoles some believe to be in development is an Xbox hybrid console similar to the Nintendo Switch. However, according to Windows Central’s JezCorden this turns out to be false. In the latest episode of the Xbox Two podcast, Corden stated that the console will be a standard home console but will have a handheld as an add on. “I’ll tell you now: there’s going to be a separate handheld and there’s going to be an Xbox Series X successor,” he said. “It’s going to be two different things. They’re not just going to try and go all in on handheld only; they’re going to do a more traditional console for the Series X people and then a handheld. […] I’m predicting a Series X successor, a handheld, and the end of the paywall for premium multiplayer games.”

The Next Xbox Console Reportedly Won’t Be a Hybrid Console

Former PlayStation boss Jim Ryan once famously said that “reduced spec” consoles like Xbox Series S aren’t a good idea, and if ongoing optimization headaches are any indication, he was right. Come to think of it, Ryan — who was often criticized for his takes — was right about a lot of things, including Xbox Game Pass, but I digress.
