Xbox CEO calls Project Helix a ‘family of devices’

Xbox CEO Asha Sharma told BBC News that Project Helix, previously described as Microsoft’s next-generation console, will be a broader family of devices. She declined to say whether any Helix hardware will be discless, though Microsoft separately announced a program to digitize physical games.

The wording suggests Microsoft may be moving toward a more diversified Xbox hardware strategy spanning multiple form factors or price points. Combined with its AMD partnership and physical-to-digital game initiative, Project Helix could accelerate Xbox’s shift toward a more digital-first ecosystem.
