Who owns Xbox?

Xbox is part of Microsoft’s gaming business, rather than a separate manufacturer owned by Sony or another console brand. The 2025 report includes both hardware and content/services in that business. [1]

Who actually makes Xbox products?

The 2024 report says devices are primarily made by third-party contract manufacturers; the 2025 report describes third-party device manufacturing and geographic flexibility. Neither is a console-specific factory directory. [2][1]

Existing supply-chain maps: MicrosoftXbox Series X

Where are Xbox products made?

Microsoft’s US corporate presence is not a console assembly claim. The reviewed reports do not allocate Series X, Series S or their accessories to named factories. [2][1]

Is Xbox made in China or the USA?

A universal China-made or USA-made claim would exceed the reviewed reports. The country and factory for a current unit remain Unconfirmed here. [1]

Same factory, different label

Microsoft’s device-wide manufacturing policy does not prove an Xbox and a Surface product share an assembly line. It also does not identify a shared factory with PlayStation. [2][1]
