Last week at the Game Developers Conference, Microsoft shared more details about its upcoming console/PC platform, Project Helix, including more information on the high-level technical details and that the platform will begin shipping to developers in 2027. In the wake of the announcements, GameSpot caught up with industry analysts to get their take on Microsoft’s plans for Helix and more.
Mat Piscatella of Circana told GameSpot that Microsoft targeting a 2027 distribution of alpha Helix devkits to developers likely means the consumer version isn’t coming until “at least 2028.”
Project Helix was announced by new Microsoft Gaming CEO Asha Sharma earlier this month, though a console/PC platform with the name Project Helix has been rumored for more than a decade.
Today, Microsoft–along with Sony and Nintendo–have to contend with a challenging business environment with the RAM crisis and the tariff situation, along with data that shows hardware sales are now more concentrated to richer households. Sony is said to be working on the PlayStation 6, with plans potentially disrupted by the fact that AI companies are buying up memory chips, thereby squeezing game companies who also need them.
Reporting from Bloomberg said Sony might release the PS6 in 2028
