The recent retirement of longtime Microsoft Gaming CEO Phil Spencer and resignation of presumed heir apparent Sarah Bond sparked serious questions about the future of the Xbox, mostly in the vein of, "Does it have one?" In a message posted today on X, new Microsoft Gaming chief Asha Sharma says it does—and it's going to play your 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 wrote. "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!"
