  • Microsoft’s canceled Xbox cloud console, codenamed Keystone, has surfaced in a patent filing, giving us our first look at the unreleased device.
  • The console shares design cues with the Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X but has a much more compact profile.
  • Microsoft paused development for the console in 2022, citing pricing issues.

Canceled Microsoft devices seem to be getting their 15 minutes of fame as of late. We recently got our first look at the unreleased Surface Duo 3, and now a patent filing has revealed details about the Xbox cloud console that Microsoft axed in 2022.

Images included in the patent filing spotted by Windows Central reveal that the Xbox streaming device, codenamed Keystone, looked like a smaller version of the Xbox Series S. It features a circular shape on top, similar to the vent on the full-fledged console, and includes an Xbox power button and a USB-A port on the front edge.
