A new patent has revealed exactly what Microsoft’s canceled Keystone Xbox cloud console would have looked like. Microsoft canceled it over price point issues.
A few years ago, Microsoft was planning to launch a dedicated Xbox cloud console, codenamed Keystone. The device looked like a miniature Xbox Series S, a small white box that was dedicated to accessing Xbox games over the company’s Xbox Cloud Gaming service. Microsoft eventually canceled its plans to launch Keystone, but a new patent gives us the best look at what the Xbox cloud console would have looked like.
The patent, filed in 2022, is assigned to Chris Kujawski, a principal designer at Microsoft. Kujawski led the design for the Xbox Series S / X consoles. Microsoft first announced it was planning an Xbox streaming device in 2021 but eventually canceled its Keystone device because it couldn’t quite get the price to around $100. Xbox chief Phil Spencer revealed Keystone on his office shelf in 2022, with the official Xbox account on X claiming it was an “old prototype.
