Xbox CEO Asha Sharma has suggested Project Helix<\/u><\/a> will encompass more than one device, saying that Microsoft has been working on “a great family of devices.”<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

As Microsoft attempts to navigate mass layoffs across its gaming branch<\/a>, the company has mostly played its cards close to the chest when it comes to its mysterious next-gen Xbox console. Project Helix was formally announced<\/u><\/a> with the promise of PC game-playing capabilities back in March of this year, and now Sharma may be teasing something more.<\/p>\n

The Xbox CEO teased some of what’s to come for Project Helix during an interview with the BBC<\/u><\/a> at gamescom 2026. While Microsoft wants to stay tight-lipped, some of what she had to say suggested the gaming hardware might be more than a simple box release.<\/p>\n

“We’re not sharing more on Helix, I know you had to ask it,” Sharma said when asked if Project Helix will be a “discless” console. “But look, 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.”<\/p>\n

With so little to go on, Sharma’s comment could mean a lot of things. This past generation, for example, saw the release of not one but two Xbox consoles with its Series X\/S releases. The X, considered a more powerful device, features a disc drive, while the S is an all-digital device.<\/p>\n

The mention of a “family of devices” for Project Helix doesn’t exactly mean that there will be something like a Project Helix Series X\/S, but it does suggest Microsoft may be preparing for a next-gen console that could be just as untraditional as the one it follows.<\/p>\n
