Microsoft's canceled Xbox Keystone streaming console was designed to sit under a TV and stream games via Xbox Game Pass but was scrapped due to pricing issues. A newly discovered patent sheds light on the square design of the console, featuring ports for HDMI, ethernet, and power, along with an Xbox controller pairing button. While Keystone won't see the light of day, Microsoft remains committed to cloud gaming through Xbox Cloud Gaming, despite challenges with business models and competition from the likes of Apple and Google. The company is exploring avenues like TV apps and PC cloud gaming to expand its offerings. With cloud gaming poised to evolve, Microsoft is determined to stay ahead and ensure a seamless experience for players in the future.
