It has been speculated for months that Microsoft will launch a transmission for Xbox Game Pass plan subscribers. Similar to a Chromecast, this will be a discreet device that you can plug into your TV to play your games.
In view of the latest findings that such a product is designated internally as “Keystone”, the US giant chose to publicly confirm its existence. An acknowledgment given to the publication of Windows Central.
“Keystone” is the product that will reinvent the gaming market
It was precisely Windows Central that found references to a product called “Keystone” in the source code of the Xbox OS operating system. In fact, this will be the much-talked-about gadget that the Xbox team is developing to take advantage of the influence of the Game Pass service in the market.
In light of these findings, a Microsoft spokesperson confirmed the development of this product. The “Keystone” really exists, and unsurprisingly, it will be an affordable device to take the Xbox Game Pass service anywhere.
“Our vision for Xbox Cloud Gaming is unwavering. Our goal is to enable people to play the games they want, on the devices they want, wherever they want. As we announced last year, we’re working on a transmission game, codenamed Keystone, that can be plugged into any TV or monitor without the need for a console.
In other words, this new product should come at a very affordable price and serve as a console replacement for those who want to play only on transmission. Chromecast is a prime example, as it represents an easy-to-carry product that can be plugged into any TV or monitor to start gaming.
This concept will inevitably be associated with an Xbox Game Pass subscription. Depending on your subscription level, you will have access to a vast library of games, all you need is an internet connection to start playing.
The Microsoft spokesperson also mentions that Keystone represents the initial concept of the product conceived by the company. The model to reach the market must be different from this concept, however, the philosophy will be the same.
Something that also remains to be clarified is the moment of the presentation of this transmission. It will probably be some time before Microsoft reveals this promising product.
