A gaming industry leaker has stated that the upcoming Project Helix console from Xbox could set consumers back at least $1,000 after factoring in the costs of some key components. However, the next-gen Xbox system could be much faster in rasterization and ray tracing performance than the current Xbox Series X console, and could rival some high-end gaming PCs as well.
The news came a day after Microsoft Gaming CEO Asha Sharma revealed the codename of the next-gen Xbox system as Project Helix. Sharma stated that Project Helix would "lead in performance" and allow gamers to play both PC and Xbox games on the same device. Sharma stated that she would discuss Project Helix with Xbox's partners and studios at GDC's Festival of Gaming next week in San Francisco, starting March 9. Sharma's statement about giving users the ability to play PC and Xbox games on the system essentially confirmed some long-standing rumors about the next-gen Xbox console's game library. However, other official details remain elusive.
