Microsoft’s gaming head Asha Sharma teased Project Helix, the next-generation Xbox described as a premium hybrid that can play both Xbox and PC games; launch timing isn’t set, with AMD hinting at a 2027 window and more details expected at the GDC event.

Microsoft’s next Xbox is codenamed Project Helix, a PC‑centric, open hybrid console built around AMD’s Magnus SoC. Under new CEO Asha Sharma, Microsoft aims to blur console and PC lines by letting Helix boot Windows 11 and run PC stores like Steam and Epic, delivering a PC‑like experience with Xbox gaming at its core. Details are scarce and a release window isn’t announced, but the plan signals a bold shift toward an open, versatile platform.
