Microsoft has acknowledged it is working on a cheap streaming device that would allow customers to play Xbox games without the need for a full-fledged console, which might have a significant impact on Apple TV's future success.
For years, it has been speculated that Microsoft aims to make gaming more accessible to the general public by eliminating the need to purchase a costly console. Microsoft's software-based response to that problem is the Xbox Cloud Gaming platform, which works on a variety of devices including iPhone and iPad, but it looks the corporation isn't stopping there.
Microsoft confirmed to Windows Central that it is working on new Xbox hardware. The streaming gadget, codenamed "Keystone," is similar to Chromecast and Google Stadia in that it connects to any TV or monitor through HDMI, allowing customers to access Microsoft's massive gaming library as well as any other streaming material it chooses to offer.
The firm didn't disclose any other information regarding the dongle or a possible release date, but it did say that it had recently decided to "pivot away" from its initial goal for the gadget, allowing it to "bring Xbox Cloud Gaming to more people across the world in the future."
