Whatever side of the pro or anti fence you sit on, or even indeed if your buttocks are firmly planted on those white picket panels, you may be tired of hearing about which games do or don’t feature AI-created artworks.

Xbox Project Helix is now a reality, as we finally have confirmation that a new console is on its way. In a world where “everything is an Xbox” there was an air of uncertainty about whether we’d see a mainline follow-up to the Xbox Series X and S, but that’s all changing. Just a few weeks into her new position, Xbox CEO Asha Sharma has announced on X (Twitter) that the next-generational system is in the works, and I’m already seeing key details emerge.There’s still a lot we don’t know about Project Helix, including its true name, when it will…
