Xbox CEO Says Project Helix Includes a 'Family of Devices'

Xbox CEO Asha Sharma has revealed that Project Helix will include a family of devices, not just a single console. Microsoft has been developing this new generation of gaming hardware discreetly, with the company choosing to share limited information at this stage. During an interview at gamescom 2026, Sharma indicated that Project Helix could be more than just a discless console, hinting at a broader range of devices to come.

The term "family of devices" implies that there may be multiple products under the Project Helix umbrella, possibly resembling the diverse lineup of Xbox consoles from the previous generation. While the exact nature of these devices remains unknown, Sharma's comments suggest that Microsoft is exploring unconventional approaches to the next-gen console market.

Despite Sharma's earlier predictions of a holiday 2027 launch, the company is reportedly considering new business models and has acknowledged that a significant investment may not be feasible for the average consumer. As we await further details on Project Helix and its accompanying devices, it's clear that Microsoft aims to communicate the unique features and benefits of this upcoming gaming hardware, moving beyond the conventional Series console model.
