Digital Foundry has analyzed Microsoft's latest announcements and concluded that Xbox Project Helix can be considered a PC.
The console is being created on the basis of a new SoC from AMD with the RDNA 5 architecture, promising a breakthrough in ray tracing, machine learning, and FSR Diamond technologies for improved upscaling and frame generation.
Experts emphasize that Microsoft is increasingly unifying Xbox and PC, simplifying game development.
From the developers' point of view, Xbox is just a PC.
Project Helix will look like a console but run on Windows, providing players with Xbox Mode for a classic console experience.
This means the end of the traditional Xbox model. Microsoft aims to use Windows as the main platform, unifying the console and PC ecosystems and simplifying life for developers, who will not have to create separate versions of games.
