Project Helix: Xbox's Next Gen to Launch as a Family of Devices

Xbox chief Asha Sharma says Project Helix will ship as a “family of devices,” signaling a multi-tier lineup rather than a single console. While it will be AMD-powered and capable of running both Xbox and PC games, Microsoft has not shared pricing, release timing, or whether a disc drive will be included. Alpha development hardware isn’t expected until 2027, and the strategy may mirror the Series S/X approach with multiple architectures at different price points.

The move comes amid ongoing memory shortages driven by AI-demand for chips and broader component scarcities, suggesting higher prices may persist in the near term.
