Microsoft teases its subsequent Xbox, says ‘Undertaking Helix’ will play PC video games too

The next-generation Xbox console will play both Xbox and PC games, and its codename is “Project Helix,” according to Asha Sharma, who took over as Microsoft’s gaming CEO last month.

“Great start to the morning with Team Xbox, where we talked about our commitment to the return of Xbox including Project Helix, the code name for our next generation console,” Sharma wrote on X. “Project Helix will lead in performance and play your Xbox and PC games. Looking forward to chatting about this more with partners and studios at my first GDC next week!”

Microsoft has already indicated that the next Xbox will be some kind of hybrid of a console and a PC, with former Xbox president Sarah Bond also saying that “The next-gen console is going to be a very premium, very high-end curated experience.”
