Microsoft Swiftly and Silently Removes ‘Hints’ of Next Generation Xbox from Job Ad

Microsoft has published an ad, searching for a “super creator” industrial engineer, a few days back. The company stated that it was looking for someone who would like to work on the “next generation entertainment hardware for Microsoft”. However’ the ad has been silently removed, along with all reference to the “next generation” keyword.

The ad stated that Microsoft was looking for a “passionate designers who want to help us create next generation entertainment hardware” for the company, having “leadership, inspirational creative output, and passion to the Xbox entertainment space” as the main requirements for the job at hand. The ad has now been “slightly changed”, having both the original and modified versions available below:

Old New

There are two possible explanations as to why Microsoft changed their job ad description. The first one might be that the text was misleading and the company is not planning their “next generation” of consoles just yet, or the second reason might be that Microsoft does not want anyone to know what they might be planning for the next Xbox models. Either way, what is certain is that the “super creator” will be working on “new devices and experiences”. The Microsoft job ad can be viewed on their Careers website here.
