Microsoft is planning a radical change for its next console: a modular structure that would allow it to launch different versions without redesigning the system from scratch.
This strategy would turn the future Xbox into a hybrid between a console and a PC, opening the door to frequent revisions and greater technical flexibility.

What is known so far about the new Xbox?
In recent weeks, leaks have circulated about the future consoles from Sony and Microsoft. However, in Xbox's case, the latest analyses suggest a different approach.
Rumors about Magnus, the APU that the next Xbox would use, indicate that it will have a scalable design. This would allow it to adapt to different configurations, something more common in the PC world than in the console world.
An architecture that would allow constant upgrades
Instead of launching a closed console that remains the same for 7 years, as is customary, Microsoft would seek to upgrade components without modifying everything.

This means that we could see a family of Xbox consoles with different features, without losing compatibility, similar to what happens with prebuilt PCs.
What would this new approach from Microsoft look like?
The technical analysis by Digital Foundry highlights that the modular design would allow CPU and GPU to be combined more freely, adjusting power and price.

This would enable more affordable and more powerful versions, even portable ones, under a single platform.
A model similar to Surface, but applied to gaming
It is mentioned that Microsoft could imitate the approach of its Surface line, where different manufacturers such as ASUS participate in the hardware.
The parallel with the failed 3DO console from the 90s is inevitable, although this time with a unified ecosystem controlled by Microsoft.
