Microsoft is working on another Xbox codenamed ‘Keystone’ that’ll be a game-streaming device. While official information is practically non-existent, the company confirmed that Keystone is real.
A new report by Windows Central goes into some detail regarding Keystone. Apparently, it’ll utilize xCloud to stream games over the internet without local hardware, though an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription and a lightning-fast internet connection will be necessary. The work-in-progress console isn’t a successor since it’ll join the Xbox Series X|S product line as another option.
Keystone is allegedly tiny, with the current iteration measuring around an inch thick. Early versions were square like an Xbox Series X, but Microsoft is currently redesigning the console. That set Keystone’s launch back considerably. While a launch date sometime this year was in the cards initially, Windows Central suggests 2023 is more likely.
Keep in mind that all of this is up in the air. Who knows when Microsoft will show Keystone off, though several Xbox showcases are looming on the horizon. Maybe it’ll pop up there! Or we’ll simply be inundated with loads of excellent games. It’s a tough life.
