Where Are Xbox Consoles Manufactured? Global Supply Chain

Microsoft designs and engineers Xbox consoles in Redmond, Washington, but manufacturing is outsourced to contract partners globally. The primary assemblers have shifted across generations:

Current & Recent Manufacturers

• Flex (formerly Flextronics): Primary assembler for Xbox Series X/S. Facilities in Guadalajara, Mexico (Series X) and Chongqing, China (Series S). Also handled Xbox One X/S assembly in Austin, TX and Zhuhai, China.
• Foxconn (Hon Hai Precision): Major partner for Xbox One, One S, and early Series units. Plants in Zhengzhou, China and Kansas, USA.
• Pegatron: Contributed to Xbox One S/X and Series S/X motherboard assembly in Shanghai, China and Indonesia.
• Quanta Computer: Produced Xbox 360 Slim/360 E units in Chongqing, China.

Why Multiple Partners?

• Supply Chain Resilience: Avoids single-point failures (e.g., COVID lockdowns, trade tariffs).
• Regional Demand: Mexican output serves Americas; Chinese output serves Asia/Europe.
• Cost & Capacity: Different partners specialize in high-mix/low-volume (Series X) vs. high-volume/low-mix (Series S).

Component Sourcing

Key parts come from separate specialists: AMD (APU), Samsung/SK Hynix/Micron (GDDR6/NAND), Seagate (expansion cards), and various PCB/substrate vendors in Taiwan, Korea, and Japan.

Bottom line: An Xbox is a globally sourced product—designed in the USA, assembled primarily in Mexico and China by Flex and Foxconn.
