MSI 2026 product launches and anniversary editions

Overview

In early July 2026, MSI unveiled a flagship PC ecosystem consisting of the MEG MAESTRO 900R full-tower chassis and the MEG CORELIQUID E15 360 all-in-one liquid cooler. Both products earned the 2026 Red Dot Design Award and were slated for release on 25 July 2026. Following this, MSI introduced the high-end Aegis ZS2 gaming desktop, while retailer Woot reduced the price of the Codex R2 desktop.

In early August, MSI expanded its lineup with the Crosshair A16 HX MLG Edition, a “Stellar White” notebook featuring an AMD Ryzen 9 8940HX and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop GPU. This edition includes a gaming mouse, headset, mousepad, and potentially a collectible figurine. To mark its 40th anniversary, MSI also announced the limited-edition Draco Epic collection, which features dragon and constellation motifs across a motherboard, graphics card, liquid cooler, chassis, and power supply. While aesthetically distinct, MSI noted there are no functional performance changes compared to standard models; initial shipments are expected in Italy.

By September, MSI introduced the Crosshair 16 HX E14W, a more budget-conscious laptop utilizing an Intel Core i7-14650HX CPU and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop GPU, paired with a 16-inch QHD+ 240Hz display.
