Microsoft spills the beans on its Xbox-PC hybrid at GDC while suggesting it's still years away

CHIBA, JAPAN - SEPTEMBER 26: The Xbox logo is seen during the Tokyo Game Show 2024 at Makuhari Messe on September 26, 2024 in Chiba, Japan. The gaming exhibition is one of the world's largest and will be held through September 29th. (Photo by Tomohiro Ohsumi/Getty Images).

Microsoft continued the rollout of its future Xbox plans at GDC today in a talk hosted by VP of next generation Jason Ronald. Titled "Building for the Future with Xbox", the talk centered around Project Helix, the codename for the next Xbox console that will bridge the gap between a console and traditional PC.

Ronald expanded on what that dual identity will actually mean for the machine, and by the sound of things, Helix will behave similarly to Valve's upcoming Steam Machine with the distinction that it "plays your Xbox console and PC games." That's according to IGN, which live blogged the talk from the show.
