Report: Next-Gen Xbox Could Cost Up to $1,800 and Launch in 2028

Fortune reports that the next Xbox console, codenamed Project Helix, could cost between $1,200 and $1,800 unless Microsoft subsidizes it, and could launch in 2028. The report also says Microsoft may release a next-generation Xbox handheld by the end of 2027, without pricing details. It adds that AI-driven memory and component shortages may be pushing costs up, and that the Xbox and Windows teams clashed over what software Project Helix should run.
