Pure Xbox • • technology
Key Points:
- Xbox is developing a next-gen console called Project Helix, which will support both console and PC games and be built in-house as a first-party device.
- Rumors suggest the AMD chip used in Project Helix might also be incorporated into third-party devices from companies like ASUS and MSI, though these won't be sold directly to consumers.
- Xbox's VP of next-generation, Jason Ronald, confirmed the development of a first-party Project Helix console but did not clarify whether the chip would be used in other machines.
- Speculation indicates third-party devices might be PCs or handhelds rather than consoles, and only the first-party Helix system will fully support Xbox backward compatibility due to licensing constraints.
- While many details remain uncertain, the confirmed first-party Project Helix console is expected to be a powerful system capable of running both console and PC games.
