Xbox admits that "Project Helix" may not be a single console, but a family of devices

SAPO Tek4 September 2026 at 16:07

The CEO of Xbox, Asha Sharma, stated in an interview to BBC during Gamescom 2026 that Project Helix may not be a single console, but rather a "large family of devices." This statement fuels speculation that Microsoft is preparing more than one device for the next generation of gaming.

The interview took place at the Gamescom 2026 trade show, which gave international prominence to the CEO's statement. Project Helix is the code name used by Microsoft to refer to its next generation of Xbox hardware.

Asha Sharma's position represents a shift in the company's narrative, which previously seemed to point toward a single next-generation device. The idea of a family of devices suggests that Microsoft may offer multiple hardware options for different market segments.

Microsoft has not revealed specific details about how many devices will be part of this family or what their characteristics will be. Project Helix continues to be a major topic of speculation in the gaming industry, with analysts trying to anticipate the company's plans for the next generation of consoles.
