Xbox Project Helix arriving in 2028
Xbox Project Helix, Microsoft's next generation, is projected for a 2028 holiday launch according to a Fortune report from October 20, 2026. Xbox Project Helix marks a significant shift in the company's hardware strategy.
Internal price projected between $1,200 and $1,800
Internally, Xbox Project Helix is estimated at $1,200 to $1,800 for consumers unless Microsoft subsidizes costs. This price for Xbox Project Helix would be unprecedented in the console market and could position it as a luxury item.
Xbox CEO Asha Sharma has described Project Helix as a family of devices, not a single console. There are plans for a next-generation handheld in 2027, possibly part of this family, with third-party partnerships.
