Microsoft and Xbox are facing challenges amidst significant consolidations following the Activision Blizzard deal. With the first-party library struggling in 2024, many gamers are considering switching platforms. Despite predictions of an all-digital future driven by Game Pass, new Xbox hardware may be on the horizon sooner than expected.
A reputable Call of Duty leaker known as Hope suggests that new Xbox hardware is set to launch in 2026. There’s also speculation that the release of Call of Duty 2026 could coincide with the new system’s debut.

This hints at the arrival of a new Xbox and a potential release timeframe if CoD 2026 is a launch title, typically falling between October and November.
While some may dismiss this as a mere rumor, the leaker has a proven track record with Call of Duty leaks. Moreover, Xbox executive Sarah Bond has emphasized the company’s commitment to a groundbreaking hardware generation and future roadmap.
Speculations of Xbox moving away from hardware soon may be premature, as the rumored 2026 release could signify a significant technical advancement or a beefed-up Series X, similar to the rumored PlayStation 5 Pro slated for holiday release.
Despite these rumors, Microsoft has not officially confirmed details about the upcoming hardware. Whether it’s an enhanced Series X or an entirely new device, Bond’s statements hint at a potential game-changing gaming experience.
