This week on Xbox Casuals
What exactly is Microsoft trying to say about the future of Xbox? On paper, it’s actually a lot simpler than they’re making it sound.
This week on Xbox Casuals, Corey Dirrig and Josh Finney dig into Project Helix. The idea behind Helix sounds pretty simple on paper—bringing Xbox and PC gaming libraries together into one ecosystem that could include games from the Microsoft Store, Steam, Epic Games, and more—but Microsoft’s messaging around it has been anything but clear.
Corey and Josh talk through what it could mean for the future of the console if Microsoft pulls it off, while also raising plenty of questions about how multiple storefronts would work on an Xbox, how physical backward compatibility might translate to a more PC-style library, where Game Pass and Play Anywhere fit into the strategy, whether the interface could resemble devices like the ROG Ally X, what this means for Xbox’s multiplatform plans, and ultimately how much a console like this might actually cost.
All that—and plenty more Xbox talk—on Xbox Casuals.
