Despite the release of Xbox Series S and X, Microsoft's plans for Project Helix apparently did not come to an end, as a decade since the Kotaku report, the company officially unveiled its hybrid console.
Project Helix is now a reality, with Microsoft's new Xbox CEO claiming it to be the next-generation console for the company. This confirmation suggests that this hybrid console could be available as early as 2027.
Through this new version of the Xbox, players may enjoy the PC titles they own on this next-gen console. It also allows them to play on any device, provided they have the "Xbox Play Anywhere" feature available.
