Microsoft code named its next Xbox console

The new head of Xbox, Asha Shar, has officially confirmed the code name of the company’s next console. For now, it’s known as ‘Project Helix.’

It also seems like the rumours were true: the next Xbox will play both console and PC games.

“Great start to the morning with Team Xbox, where we talked about our commitment to the return of Xbox including Project Helix, the code name for our next generation console.

Project Helix will lead in performance and play your Xbox and PC games. Looking forward to chatting about this more with partners and studios at my first GDC next week!”- Asha Shar
