Microsoft has confirmed that its gaming division is developing a next-generation Xbox console. Currently code-named ‘Project Helix,’ the new project signals a new phase for its gaming landscape. According to the company, the upcoming console will focus on leading performance. This device is confirmed to play both Xbox and PC titles, finally putting an end to months of industry rumours.
Project Helix will be the fifth generation of Xbox consoles. The latest Xbox consoles include the Xbox Series X and Series S. While this cross-platform compatibility could offer high performance, the company did not reveal more.
Microsoft has previously hinted that the new console would be a big performance leap compared to the current generation.
In a post on social media, Asha Sharma, the newly appointed Executive Vice President and CEO, Microsoft Gaming said that Team Xbox had discussed its "commitment to the return of Xbox" with its future console, which will "lead in performance and play your Xbox and PC games."
After her appointment last month, Sharma emphasised a commitment to console and hardware under her leadership. "We're going to keep meeting players where they are," she said. "I am committed to 'returning to Xbox,' and that starts with console, that starts with hardware. We also know there are a lot of players who aren't on console or our hardware, and I want to deliver great games to them too."
