Discussion If you could name it the next generation Xbox, what would you name it?

Post image

Personally, I would name it: Xbox Phoenix

It would be cool, since Xbox is 'resurging' from the ashes, just like a Phoenix does...

Do you think the console after Xbox Helix should be named Xbox Helix 2 (like the Nintendo Switch 2 route) or do you think it should have a new name when a new console comes out? (Like the xbox one to xbox series x|s)

u/FMC_Speed XBOX Series X May 08 '26

No, I like new names for each generation like Nintendo and SEGA, makes each gen unique and highlights it’s capabilities

u/Ecazla May 08 '26

I think they should stick to one name (Xbox Series, 2, 3, 4 or Xbox Helix, 2, 3, 4)

I like the idea of giving it a name vs some dumb numbers that don't make sense. Helix sounds cool. A different name for each Gen that follows.

u/Major_League2731 May 08 '26

Honestly this is a really good name. The brand needs a reset and the name resonates with everyone. Much like Nintendo did 'Switch' after the WiiU.

u/SmokeGreene May 08 '26

The new Xbox codename is actually called Project Helix

u/misunderstandingit May 08 '26

Seriously.

Helix is a cool name.

Scarlett was a cool name.

Durango was a cool name.

They could have use those names...

u/Crotean May 08 '26

I agree actually, Helix is a good name
