New Microsoft Gaming CEO Asha Sharma, who took over as the head of the Xbox business last week as longtime Xbox boss Phil Spencer retired, has confirmed the codename for Xbox's next-generation console – Project Helix – and also confirmed long-swirling rumors that the device will play Xbox and PC games.

"Great start to the morning with Team Xbox, where we talked about our commitment to the return of Xbox including Project Helix, the code name for our next generation console," Sharma posted on her X account. "Project Helix will lead in performance and play your Xbox and PC games. Looking forward to chatting about this more with partners and studios at my first GDC next week!"

I thought XBox was dead. So is this just a PC?

Technically speaking, Xboxes have always been just PCs, incredibly locked down, but PCs nonetheless.

So maybe this is the first step to having a major "console" that isn't locked down user-hostile crap. Maybe.

LOL. It's just gonna be locked down even harder.

This is the year of the Linux desktop
