Microsoft had planned to release a dedicated Xbox cloud streaming console codenamed "Keystone" that would allow users to access Xbox games via the cloud. The device was designed to sit under a TV and stream games through Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.
Microsoft ultimately scrapped plans to release Keystone due to challenges in achieving the target price point of around $99-$129. The company shifted focus to developing a smart TV streaming app for Xbox Game Pass instead.
