- Xbox has officially announced its next-gen console, titled “Project Helix.”
- The console is confirmed to play both PC and Xbox games.
- More details are expected at the upcoming GDC conference.
On a random Thursday, Xbox revealed the codename for its next-generation console, titled “Project Helix.” A short teaser for the console was dropped on social media, with more details expected at the GDC that is taking place just a few days from now.
Why it matters: It seems that Microsoft is cutting the life of the Xbox Series X|S since it has announced the next-gen console this early. Anyhow, this new console will be the make-or-break for the gaming giant.
While the official Xbox account where the teaser was first dropped didn’t have information to share, the gaming giant’s new CEO, Asha Sharma, wrote this on her new post.
She confirmed the console’s ability to play both PC and Xbox games, a rumour that has long circulated for at least a couple of years. It seems that this new console will be a PC-hybrid, aligning with the gaming giant’s current strategy to expand the Xbox ecosystem beyond just a console.
Anyhow, more details on Project Helix are expected during the GDC, which is taking place from March 9-13. An announcement this early does align with our previous report that this console will release in 2027.
This means that Team Green will have an edge over PlayStation with an early next-gen release and also since the latter company plans on extending the PS5 lifecycle as much as they can. The only issue for Xbox to tackle is the memory shortage, which will inevitably raise the console’s price, which paints a bad picture considering its beefy specs already hint at a higher price.
