## Summary

Microsoft’s next console, Project Helix, could cost between $1,200 and $1,800, according to reported internal estimates. If that range proves accurate, it would make the console a major investment, although Microsoft has not announced a retail price and may subsidise the hardware.

Helix is designed to play both Xbox and PC games, and its reported launch target is the 2028 holiday season. Microsoft has confirmed it is building the console around a custom AMD chip and plans to send early hardware to developers in 2027; a separate next-generation handheld is reportedly planned for 2027.
