Microsoft's Xbox Project Helix Unveiled as Family of Devices
Xbox Project Helix is not just a single console, but rather a family of devices, according to Xbox division CEO Asha Sharma.
In an interview with the BBC, Sharma confirmed that Microsoft's next-generation gaming hardware will include multiple entry points, similar to the Xbox Series S/X and Xbox One/One X.
This could mean that Project Helix may integrate more with the PC side than expected, particularly with Xbox Ally PC handhelds.
Sharma emphasized that players love both physical and digital media, and wants to ensure they have a choice in that. This suggests that Project Helix may launch with a disc drive, unlike Sony's PlayStation 5 which killed off discs.
The focus on hardware efficiency and affordability indicates that Microsoft is taking a consumer-friendly approach to its next-gen gaming business.
