Where Are Xbox Consoles Made? Design vs. Manufacturing Locations

Xbox consoles are designed and engineered by Microsoft at their headquarters in Redmond, Washington, USA. However, the physical manufacturing is outsourced to contract manufacturers around the world.

Primary Manufacturing Partners & Locations

Foxconn (Hon Hai Precision Industry): Major facilities in China (Zhengzhou, Shenzhen, Chengdu).
Flex (formerly Flextronics): Plants in China and Mexico (Guadalajara).
Jabil: Manufacturing sites in China and Mexico.

These companies assemble the consoles from components sourced globally (chips from TSMC/Samsung, memory from SK Hynix/Micron, etc.). The specific factory for a given console can vary by model, region, and production period.

Design vs. Manufacturing

Aspect	Location / Responsibility
Industrial Design, Engineering, Software	Microsoft – Redmond, WA, USA (and global studios)
Final Assembly	Foxconn, Flex, Jabil – China, Mexico
Component Fabrication	Global supply chain (Taiwan, Korea, USA, Japan, etc.)
Quality Control & Validation	Microsoft + partner teams at factory sites

In short: Designed in the USA, assembled primarily in China and Mexico.
