Xbox Project Helix: A Family of Devices Revealed
29 Aug
Summary
- Project Helix is now a 'family' of devices, not a single console.
- Microsoft and AMD are likely partnering on these new devices.
- The launch of Project Helix is anticipated around 2027.
Xbox CEO Asha Sharma has announced that Project Helix, previously referred to as Microsoft's "next generation console," will actually be a "family" of devices.
Sharma stated, "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." This clarifies that Project Helix represents a collection of upcoming hardware.
Microsoft and AMD entered a "strategic multi-year partnership" in 2025 to develop a "portfolio of devices," including next-generation consoles. It is therefore highly probable that both companies are collaborating on the Project Helix device family.
Rumors about third parties selling Project Helix devices have circulated, with Xbox's VP of next generation, Jason Ronald, confirming it would be available as a "1st party Xbox console." The launch timeline remains uncertain, but AMD hinted at support for a Microsoft next-gen Xbox launch in 2027, with Ronald indicating Project Helix wouldn't reach alpha until 2027.
