Xbox VP of Next Generation Jason Ronald has confirmed that we will learn more about the next Xbox, currently known as Project Helix, in the coming months.
Ronald made the comments in a recent X post, writing: “We’ll have more to share about Project Helix later this year.”
For those who have been asking, this is a recap of our announcements from GDC for those who weren’t able to make it. We’ll have more to share about Project Helix later this year. https://t.co/9dZGg9WYNT7 May 2026
The post came ahead of an Xbox-hosted Game Dev Update livestream, which went over the brand’s announcements back at GDC 2026.
Big takeaways from that event included the fact that the next Xbox console is currently “deep in development” and that it will be powered by a custom AMD SoC that supports “the next generation of DirectX and FSR.”
It said the next Xbox console was intended to deliver “meaningful gains in efficiency, scale and visual ambition” in service of “more realistic, immersive and dynamic worlds for players.”
Ronald also confirmed that early hardware is expected to ship out to developers in early 2027, suggesting it could be released to consumers in the next few years.
Xbox’s current offerings, the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S, launched more than five years ago, back in November 2020. With most consoles remaining on the market for six to seven years, it’s about time Microsoft started preparing for its next big launch.
In other recent news, CEO Asha Sharma confirmed that development of Copilot for Xbox is being halted and Xbox mobile app functionality is being abandoned in an effort to “deepen” the brand’s connection with gamers.
