Hear us?

[IAmRei]

new Xbox?
culd be better or worse, but let's see it first

 

[Tobimacoss]

So we finally have the proper codename. It isn't Project Magnus but Project Helix. Like Project Scorpio or Project Scarlett.

And it's confirmed to be Hybrid, perfect.

Xbox is back.

 

[adamsapple]

If I'm not mistaken, Magnus is the codename for the AMD NPU that powers it.

 

[Magic Carpet]

Helix the Cat
Schrodengers cat
Is it dead or alive?

 

[Kurotri]

So they are definitely revealing this thing at the game awards this year at the absolute latest right?

 

[BloodFree]

I already have something that plays my xbox and pc games:

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

Looking forward to not buying it

 

[PauloRoberto]

And now every zealot will forget magnus and start to adore helix...

By the way, fitting code name, since xbox only does circle back and forth... :-D

 

[Kilau]

Oh I can't wait to see what AI powered shit MS dumps on us.

 

[TrebleShot]

I will buy this, genuinely interested

 

[OverHeat]

Give me something that plug info my PC so I can play Xbox games from older gen native

 

[adamsapple]

Looking forward to not buying it

I'll mail you one.

 

[OmegaSupreme]

So it's a pc

 

[Tobimacoss]

So they are definitely revealing this thing at the game awards this year at the absolute latest right?

Likely at the 25th Xbox Anniversary on November 15th.

If I'm not mistaken, Magnus is the codename for the AMD NPU that powers it.

Yea, the CPU SOC is Magnus.

 

[OverHeat]

Looking forward to not buying it

Shit posting at its best!!!! Good job!!!

 

[Baemono]

I might finally buy one

 

[memoryman3]

Lets see the memory setup

 

[Germuso]

So if it's just a pc I expect to change components too.

 

[Magic Carpet]

Shape the box like a Series X but with a literal twist in the case.

 

[CentralScrutinizer]

Helix like Double Helix, the hybrid of an Xbox and PC intertwined.

 

[LordCBH]

Project $1400

 

[Trekinspace88]

Sorry MS but i already have a gaming PC with like 99% of the games i have on my Xbox account now in my steam library.

 

[kevboard]

so the first official confirmation that it is indeed gonna be a hybrid PC.

let's hope "playing your Xbox games" means that everything currently compatible on a Seriss X will run without issue on Helix.
or even better... more backwards compatible titles being added on top of that

 

[PeteBull]

 

[Coconutt]

Boo where the exclusives at?! Why should I buy this console cause graphics look slightly better than the other consoles?

 

[adamsapple]

Project $1400

 

[Artistic]

The return of Kinect?

 

[AltruisticFormality]

Just waiting to see what's Microsoft next trisomic decision.

 

[Kacho]

Mama Sharma delivering the goods

 

[SJRB]

These dumb motherfuckers keep focussing on performance. How many times do they need to learn this lesson?

 

[Tobimacoss]

Helix like Double Helix, the hybrid of an Xbox and PC intertwined.

Yea, seems like they want to emphasize it's a hybrid, with the Windows DNA.

Project $1400

Project Helix isn't just one expensive device though, it's a portfolio of devices including multiple consoles.

 

[begotten]

AI generated logo, video and sound sample.

 

[II_JumPeR_I]

So its not a console when this runs Windows...
I wonder if people guessed why so many games got Play Anywhere recently...
You will get a PC Port and you will like it while Playstation gets proper made Versions.
Sucks what happened to Xbox. But i guess its not for me anymore as a console gamer.

 

[analog_future]

Helix rhymes with Felix
Felix is a Cat
Blinx is a Cat
Blinx the Time Sweeper launch title exclusive confirmed

 

[adamsapple]

If they want it to run PC games, it better be beefy, otherwise you'd hear no end to complaints about weak specs like Steam Machine .. and that thing isn't even out.

 

[DR3AM]

LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOO
2027 confirmed!
First game I will play on my Helix is Wolverine

 

[onQ123]

They're gonna use a DNA tagline aren't they? Lol

 

[Svalr93]

That sound is very annoying

 

[Artistic]

Xbox Infinite official name confirmed.

 

[Knucklepux]

All these people celebrating PC games…….

Congrats, you get to plug a keyboard and mouse into it and treat it like a computer. Most PC games that aren't bigger release don't have controller support

I think this whole "I GET MY STEAM LIBRARY!" is so mislead.. if you have a Steam library, you have a Steam capable machine already. So who the fuck cares?

 

[Guilty_AI]

I still have hopes for the Xbox 720

 

[LordCBH]

First game I will play on my Helix is Wolverine

 

[Bojji]

Looks like they are gonna merge into this:

 

[DreamcastSkies]

Xbox owns some compelling IP and their have been good Xbox consoles in the past that contributed positively to the industry. I'm hoping for the best.

 

[OverHeat]

LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOO
2027 confirmed!
First game I will play on my Helix is Wolverine

Good luck

 

[lastmessiah]

I was told that Xbox is dead, so this must be fake news.

 

[Sanepar]

Really nice, play your xbox and pc games, that is the way!
