Xbox brand leader Asha Sharma has said that Project Helix will not be a single console but a family of devices, according to IGN. The statement was made in an interview covered by the outlet on August 29, 2026. Sharma's comments are the clearest signal yet that Microsoft is planning a broader hardware push under the Helix name.
IGN reports that Sharma described Project Helix as encompassing multiple pieces of hardware rather than one standalone product. The report also notes that she hinted at a future for physical games tied to the upcoming line. A separate report from Trugaming, also cited by IGN's coverage, says Sharma is focused on making next-generation hardware accessible at a range of price points.
The "family of devices" phrasing suggests Microsoft may be planning different tiers or form factors within the same product line. That approach would align with earlier industry speculation about a more flexible Xbox ecosystem, though IGN's report does not confirm specific models or release dates. Sharma's comments also leave open the possibility that physical media will continue to play a role in the Helix generation, even as digital distribution grows.
What remains unclear is how the Helix family will relate to the current Xbox Series X and S lineup. Microsoft has not announced a launch window or pricing for any Project Helix hardware. Based on Sharma's remarks, the company appears to be positioning the initiative as a multi-device strategy rather than a single flagship console.
Watch for Microsoft to reveal more details about the Project Helix device lineup in the coming months, likely alongside pricing and availability plans.
