Xbox CEO Describes Project Helix as a 'Family of Devices'
In an interview with BBC News, Xbox CEO Asha Sharma described Microsoft's upcoming console project, codenamed Project Helix, not as a single device but rather as a "family" of devices. This suggests that the next generation of Xbox hardware may include multiple products or configurations tailored for different user needs. Sharma did not confirm whether the system will be discless, though Microsoft recently announced an initiative to digitize physical games. The company has also partnered with AMD on a multi-year agreement involving "a portfolio of devices," which likely includes Helix. Rumors suggest that third-party manufacturers may produce their own versions of Project Helix hardware. A potential launch date for the system remains uncertain, though previous statements from Microsoft executives indicate it might not reach an alpha stage until 2027.
