We do not know if Phil Spencer was advised by Hideo Kojima, but the fact remains that the boss of the Xbox division now takes pleasure in hiding clues in his shelf.

While it was believed for a long time that it would be a kind of key to be inserted into an HDMI port, in reality, the object should take the form of a box to be connected to a TV or monitor. .

Looking very similar to the Xbox Series S - the Xbox Twitter account slipping in passing that it is an old prototype - the device would launch a number of applications such as Netflix, and of course Xbox games via a lighter interface than the one we are used to. Earlier in the year, Microsoft had already confirmed the name Keystone while specifying that the goal was to make it a machine revolving around the Xbox Cloud Gaming which, as everyone knows, is linked to the Xbox Game Pass.
Also according to The Verge, Microsoft would continue to work on Keystone with the firm intention of marketing it. In the meantime, let's not forget that the Redmond firm recently teamed up with Samsung to integrate the Xbox application into the manufacturer's 2022 connected TVs, just to allow users to access the Xbox Game Pass catalog available in the Cloud. without necessarily owning a console.
