The Next-Gen Xbox Could Be a PC in Console Clothing

Rumors suggest Microsoft's next-gen Xbox will blur the line between console and PC, potentially coming as a family of devices powered by an AMD Magnus APU (Zen 6 + RDNA 4) and offered through multiple OEMs. It could support PC launchers like Steam and GOG, allow mods, retro emulators, and a broad range of peripherals, and run Xbox One/Series titles while embracing Windows-like usability. The plan aims to deliver more hardware and software choice (and possibly price options around $1,000) beyond traditional console constraints, signaling a shift toward PC-style flexibility across form factors.
