Xbox CEO Asha Sharma was cagey when asked if the company’s next console, codenamed Project Helix, will have a disc drive or not, but gave some optimistic insights into its approach to physical games. Speaking with the BBC in August 2026, Sharma didn’t give a straight answer; instead, she said Xbox is currently focused on making its next generation hardware cost-effective and efficient. “This next generation, we have to be thinking about efficiency and affordability alongside performance," she told the outlet. First leaked earlier this summer, Xbox officially announced its disc-to-digital program on August 26 during Gamescom, which will roll out for Xbox Insiders starting on August 31 before becoming available to all players at an as-yet unconfirmed date.
