Xbox Series X/S Support Could Last Longer

[cryptohog]

The next-gen Xbox may be years away, but gamers aren’t left empty-handed. Microsoft plans to continue supporting the Xbox Series X/S through 2026 with titles like Fable and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, while also porting classics to other systems.

Rising hardware costs and Windows 11 development could delay a 2027 release, but that might benefit players who want more time with current consoles. At the same time, Microsoft is enhancing Xbox Game Pass, potentially merging premium tiers and adding more third-party services to keep the ecosystem thriving.

Extending Series X/S support through 2026 is the right call.

Game Pass is clearly the real long-term play for Microsoft.

Merging PC + Xbox tiers feels inevitable at this point.

Delaying next-gen might actually help dev quality.
