Next-generation Xbox strategy takes shape with handheld in 2027, console in 2028

Microsoft is pushing plans to unveil a handheld Xbox in 2027 and launch a next-generation console in 2028, according to reports. The console, code-named Project Helix, could be part of a broader device family and is being developed with AMD under a long-term partnership. Internal estimates put a consumer price at $1,200 to $1,800, though subsidies could lower it. Changes to Game Pass and operating system direction are also being considered.
