Project Helix: New Xbox Console Project Confirmed
Microsoft CEO Asha Sharma confirmed Project Helix will support both Xbox and PC games, signaling a shift from exclusives amid increasing competition in living-room PC gaming.
- On Thursday, Asha Sharma, the newly appointed Microsoft Gaming CEO, said that Project Helix will lead in performance and play your Xbox and PC games.
- Sharma took over last week after longtime Xbox boss Phil Spencer retired, and Microsoft has reduced fully exclusive Xbox titles, moving away from a walled‑garden console model.
- Design reports show partnerships with Microsoft may route PC games via PC Game Pass streaming or require games to use an Xbox‑branded PC SDK and the PC Xbox app, Sharma said, 'Project Helix will lead in performance and play your Xbox and PC games.'
- At GDC next week, Jason Ronald will host a March 11 session on Xbox's future, with a potential reveal before the end of 2026.
- Leaked hardware details hint that Project Helix could support Steam and PC titles, raising questions about competition with Valve Steam Machine and locked-down console ecosystems.
