Legal sleuths have discovered a new patent filed by Microsoft earlier this month that might hint at plans for its in-development next-generation console, Project Helix. If you recall, the company rolled out a marketing plan with the slogan, \u201cThis is an Xbox\u201d last year, but it was killed by new Microsoft Gaming CEO Asha Sharma, who took over after Phil Spencer\u2019s retirement and Xbox president Sarah Bond\u2019s commendable departure after being wrongfully\/disrespectfully\/shamefully passed up for the job. In a surprise twist, though, the slogan is already back, according to this patent\u2026 kind of.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As spotted by Reddit user u\/IWouldKillForXboxAndPlanToActually, this patent includes documentation around a new slogan associated with the rollout of Project Helix: \u201cNow You Are An Xbox.\u201d Though it\u2019s just a patent, meaning things could change, it reveals that the unannounced next-generation Xbox will include DNA helix splicing technology to turn every single user into an Xbox.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As for how it works, it seems to be a new AI-powered technology that works in coordination with the Xbox controller and its connection to the Project Helix console. Upon booting up the console, the controller will prick your finger, utilize your blood to confirm an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription (which our sources say is set to receive a price jump to $49.99 next generation), and then shoot a dose of guanine-cytosine-marcurial-fenixial-john-halox polynucleotides into your veins.<\/p>\n

Once your blood has interacted with those polynucleotides, your body will turn into an Xbox. Depending on your blood type, you will become an original Xbox, Xbox 360, or Xbox Series X. There doesn\u2019t appear to be a DNA combination for the Xbox Series S \u2013 it seems the company forgot it exists \u2013 but faulty splice experiments lead to test subjects turning into the Xbox One (there are images of this specific transformation, but they are too graphic to show here on\u00a0Game Infarcer).\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cNo yeah this is…<\/p>\n
