During her recent interview with Game File, Asha Sharma naturally discussed the next Xbox. In particular, she spoke candidly about the current challenges surrounding component costs.

So, the thorny issue of the RAM shortage was addressed. Unfortunately, this situation is expected to impact the price of « Project Helix », Microsoft’s upcoming console. The head of Xbox confirmed this.

« All these factors are interdependent. The cost of memory will influence both price and availability. We’ll take this into account to ensure we’re present wherever everyone is playing. That’s why we’re not ready to announce a launch date at this time. The market is very unstable. My top priority, however, remains to focus on what we can control: designing an exceptional console for playing great games, including your PC games. »

This Xbox Helix is indeed expected to support other ecosystems such as Steam and the Epic Games Store.
