Xbox’s upcoming console, Project Helix, might face pricing and availability issues thanks to rising memory costs. Asha Sharma, Xbox’s new boss, is keeping a close eye on this situation as it unfolds.
In a chat with Game File, Sharma explained that the ongoing RAM crisis is likely to impact the price and stock levels of Project Helix. While she didn’t commit to a launch date, she emphasized the dynamic nature of the market. This isn’t just an Xbox problem—Valve has delayed its Steam Machine for similar reasons.
Despite these challenges, Xbox is on a roll with recent brand changes, including a nostalgic logo revamp and a Game Pass price cut. Sharma is focusing on what can be controlled, but gamers should keep an eye on potential updates and prepare for possible delays.
Stay tuned to see how memory costs could shape the gaming landscape in the coming years.
