theres rumours that the total ram for xbox helix is 32gb of ram and not only that pc mode will use 24gb of ram as 8gb will be for system memory and game mode will have the 32gb of ram. Not sure if thats the console mode.. if thats true hopefully sony could match it or surpass it.

Also states that game mode will have to have gamepass and windows mode will be free

What, you'll need to pay a sub just to play your old Xbox games you already purchased?

Sounds like made up BS

 

[MMaRsu]

theres rumours

Yes

This should be locked because what is the source? A supposed screenshot for Xbox dev portal

From.Reeeeeeee

This screams fake because so much of this QnA feels consumer focused rather than developer focused. And the stuff about Xbox achievements on Steam and paid online for Steam just screams fake to me.

Like, if it were developer focused, the topic would be about "how to enable Xbox achievements on Steam" and everything, or some like "how to enable Xbox game mode support in Steam"

Like it generally looks convincing, but this is something that really just tells me it's fake

That entire leak is confirmed fake. Btw, Orion can only do 20, 30, or 40 GB configurations.
Helix can do 24, 36, or 48 GB configurations.

There's no 32 GB option.

Orion is 30 GB and Magnus Helixius Aurelius is 36 GB.

This Project Helix is setting people up for this all over again.

Wouldn't be Microsoft if it didn't have a dumb memory decision in the pipeline.

I wonder if someone plans to make another next-gen spec megathread. I think it's starting to make sense to have one instead of multiple threads specifying specs.

Maybe EviLore has thoughts on this?

Where is even the source of this "leak"? Looks like they have a screenshot of a FAQ they for some reason have already written? but where is it from? lol

Looks like it was written by a child.

Let's entertain these ridiculous rumours for a moment.

Nowhere in the article does it say game mode will use all 32gb of ram. Probably because they still need to allocate some memory to whatever is running the games and all the other features around it.

"Game mode and PC"

 

[adamsapple]

4hcan leaks, lol.

 

[IntentionalPun]

Yeah this is so fake, just look at that screenshot I posted from the article lol

"the system may report" as if it's some mystery that may or may not happen.
