When is new Xbox due?

As per the title, when is the Xbox due to get a refresh?

I'm currently still running a Xbox One S which is on its last legs, mate has given me his One X for free I just need to go get it.

But like most people, I will be getting GTA6 at the end of next year, is there a refresh due before GTA6? or am I safe to pick up a current Xbox series X when there is sales on?

Nowhere near fruition I don’t think.

They just launched some new variations on the current gen this month (Digital Series X, larger internal storage, different colours etc) so now (or closer to Xmas) would be a good time to get one. The next gen isn't expected until the end of 2028 so you've got quite a bit of time with it still to come.

I'll just pick a series X up in the sales then, just didnt want to buy one lets say March 2025 and then they announce an upgraded on in September just before GTA6 drops.

Yeah I don't think they'll be upgrading them anytime soon. Even if they did, look at the PS5 for comparison. No real changes but a hugely inflated price tag. I'd have stuck with the original if I had one, even if buying one now I'd still go for the older model tbh.

I expect this sickly, underperforming console generation will wear on for a few years yet, sadly.

It's not the consoles, its the studios. Remeber when there were a multitude of 3rd party developers all trying to get the most form the hardware? You just don't have that anymore. There's a reason the Rockstar and Rocksteady games still look amazing a whole generation later.

Sadly I don't see this changing much.
