Incoming: The Xbox Stick (KeyStone)

Microsoft confirms work on ‘Keystone’ Xbox game streaming dongle

Microsoft’s long-in-the-works xCloud streaming device is going through some changes, as reported by Windows Central. The company first announced the dedicated streaming dongle in June 2021, but in a statement given to Windows Central, the company said it has pivoted from the “current iteration” of the device, which it says is codenamed Keystone.

Here is Microsoft’s full statement shared with Windows Central:

Our vision for Xbox Cloud Gaming is unwavering, our goal is to enable people to play the games they want, on the devices they want, anywhere they want. As announced last year, we’ve been working on a game-streaming device, codename Keystone, that could be connected to any TV or monitor without the need for a console.

As part of any technical journey, we are constantly evaluating our efforts, reviewing our learnings, and ensuring we are bringing value to our customers. We have made the decision to pivot away from the current iteration of the Keystone device. We will take our learnings and refocus our efforts on a new approach that will allow us to deliver Xbox Cloud Gaming to more players around the world in the future.

Yeah that'd be fun. It would be cool to have for when I'm traveling. I'm in a hotel room right now and brought my series S, but it would cool to have a smaller form factor.

What do you think?

DRM doesn't mean what you think it does.

I don't get the hate for this. This is perfect for people on a budget or traveling gamers. If this pops up I'll gladly get this rather than a Series S for when I travel.

I didn't even notice lmaoooooo

This would be cool for someone who barely plays games and you want them to play with you

would be cool if hotels didnt always have trash wifis and low bandwidth

hell even streaming games hardwired still sucks

Gamepass and live are the same service now...you access via phone or PC...I don't get it

I’m getting this fu*k what y’all talking about. I’ve been playing damn near exclusively through xcloud the last month and the input lag isn’t noticeable. I can play 2k online with no issues and that’s saying a lot lol.
