by Last week, it was announced that game developers would be getting more information on Xbox's next-gen Project Helix console today, although it was heavily suggested at the time that it would just be a recap from GDC in March.
It turns out that the Project Helix portion of the video is literally the presentation from GDC itself, so there's nothing major here that hasn't been reported before, but it's still an interesting watch if you're interested in all-things Helix and Xbox's overall next-gen plans. You can check it out up above — the presentation begins at 2:15 in the video.
Here's an interesting quote we pulled out as well (just based on first glance... we're going to need a lot longer to digest the full 90 minutes of this show!), with Xbox's Jason Ronald highlighting the importance of console going forward:
"The console is absolutely core to Xbox, it is the heart of who we are, it will always be around, and it is critically important to our future."
Ronald is aware of how much we all want brand-new Project Helix information though, so he took to social media today to temper expectations about the Game Dev Update show, as well as promise more Helix news later in 2026:
We'll have to wait and see whether it might be the Xbox Games Showcase in June, The Game Awards in December, a potential 25th anniversary celebration in November, or any other destination where Xbox will choose to unveil more about Project Helix, but we're just pleased to know that something more will be revealed in the coming months!
