Xbox's Project Helix Unveils Plans for a Family of Devices

Xbox CEO Asha Sharma has shed some light on Project Helix, describing it as 'a great family of devices.' This comment suggests that Microsoft's next-gen console might be more than just a single device.

During an interview with the BBC at gamescom 2026, Sharma was asked if Project Helix would be a 'discless' console. She replied, 'We're not sharing more on Helix, I know you had to ask it. But look, we've been hard at work on a great next generation and a great family of devices for Helix, and we'll share more soon.'

The mention of a 'family of devices' raises questions about what exactly Project Helix will entail. In the past, Microsoft released two Xbox consoles with different features - the Series X with a disc drive and the S as an all-digital device.
