Microsoft is reportedly planning to release a gaming handheld by the end of next year, potentially priced between $1,200 and $1,800, with a next-generation console set for the 2028 holiday season.
The console's high projected price reflects rising component costs. The company is also facing internal debates over the operating system for its upcoming handheld, with one executive threatening to cancel the project if a Windows-based version is used. Microsoft has accelerated the development timeline for Project Helix and is considering a tiered subscription model for Xbox Game Pass.
