Project Helix: The New Generation of Xbox Consoles

The next generation of consoles will once again feature Microsoft among its protagonists: the US multinational has already reiterated its intention to create the successor to Xbox Series X|S, despite unfounded rumors suggesting it would withdraw from the hardware market (rumors that, moreover, have been denied repeatedly). Finally, the time has come for the first contact with Microsoft's new console.

First Details on Project Helix

Microsoft announced Project Helix, the codename for the new Xbox console, with a teaser that actually tells us very little. We learn more from the words of Asha Sharma, CEO of Microsoft Gaming: according to her Tweet, Project Helix will offer high performance and allow players to enjoy both Xbox and PC titles. So, will the new hardware follow the path of console/PC hybridization? We will know more next week, when Sharma discusses the project at the Game Developers Conference.
