According to Windows Central, Microsoft was preparing to release a new Surface Hub 2S cartridge, known as Upward. The second-generation Surface Hub 2S appears to be that cartridge, which is rumored to come with an Intel 11th-generation chip. However, it is not yet clear if Microsoft intends to sell the new cartridge as a standalone upgrade for existing Surface Hub 2S users.
Microsoft also noted that the first generation of the Surface Hub 2S will be supported until October 14, 2025. This is the day support for Windows Teams OS will end. Unfortunately, the new version of Teams Rooms on Windows will only be available for the second generation Surface Hub 2S.
The official announcement is here.
