As Xbox has continued to stumble in recent years, the future of the console has been in question. Most recently thanks to the "This is an Xbox" campaign, which tried to paint just about every piece of consumer electronics with a screen as a potential Xbox, despite there being two actual, dedicated Xbox consoles that we imagine Microsoft would be interested in selling. Whether or not Microsoft would even make a successor to the Xbox Series consoles was in doubt until newly-anointed Microsoft Gaming CEO Asha Sharma confirmed via X that the system is indeed in development, as well as offering up its code name--Project Helix. She also confirmed that it will play both Xbox and PC games and "will lead in performance." Even with this announcement, though, the future of Microsoft hardware is still in doubt.

In this post, we're rounding up everything we know about the next Xbox, codenamed Project Helix, and what that console might look like. Keep checking back for more as we update this post as new information comes to light the closer we get to an eventual release date--sooner rather than later, we hope.

One of the first things brought up was, why BBNO$? The artist behind Lalala and edamame made an unexpected appearance on the base of the mountain for a concert last year.
