During AMD’s Q4 2025 earnings call, CEO Dr. Lisa Su said development of Microsoft’s next-generation Xbox that uses an AMD semi-custom system-on-a-chip is moving forward on a timeline that “supports a launch in 2027.” The earnings call video contains Su’s remarks.
Su linked the timing to AMD’s semi-custom chip business, the division that designs console system-on-a-chip hardware. She also warned that annual revenue from that segment is expected to fall in 2026 by a “significant double-digit percentage.”
Microsoft and AMD first publicly confirmed a multi-year partnership on next-generation Xbox hardware in 2025. At the time, AMD said it would build custom chips for Xbox and pursue a “full roadmap of gaming optimized chips, combining the power of Ryzen and Radeon for consoles, handhelds, PCs, and the cloud.”
Separately, AMD has moved to raise the prices of some graphics cards to help offset rising memory costs. Those pricing changes are part of the wider market context for AMD’s consumer and semi-custom businesses.
Dr. Su’s comment does not certify a final launch date from Microsoft, but it ties AMD’s internal development schedule to a 2027 window for the next Xbox console.
