Xbox Project Helix will run games at up to 240 FPS - rumor
Project Helix will receive updated FPS Boost technology, which will allow Xbox Series X games to run at up to 240 FPS.
According to a leak, Microsoft is working on a new console codenamed Project Helix, scheduled for release in late 2027. One of the key features of the platform will be the deep integration of an updated FPS Boost. Engineers are allegedly designing the system so that Xbox Series X games can run at 120 and 240 FPS on modern OLED TVs without developer intervention.
The console's chip has already passed the tape-out stage. Its base computational power will be 56 TFLOPS compared to 12 TFLOPS for Xbox Series X, and thanks to AMD's architecture with dual-issue FP32, the peak will reach 112 TFLOPS.
The new technology will be an evolution of FPS Boost on Xbox Series X|S, where older games were boosted to 60 and 120 FPS. Project Helix will be able to automatically increase frame rates to 120 and 240 FPS while maintaining original resolution and basic graphics settings.
Powerful hardware will require a large cooling system, and the console's price could exceed $1000. The presentation will take place closer to the release in late 2027.
