Rumours of a ‘Chromcast for Xbox Game Pass’ gadget have been drifting around for a decent couple of years, a little piece of innovation that will connect to a TV and permit you to mess around by means of Xbox Cloud Streaming. It was affirmed by Microsoft in 2021 yet from that point forward we have heard very little.

Windows Central have now found that the gadget, codenamed Keystone, has hit a couple of issues and is presently going through a rethink.

“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, anywhere they want. As announced last year, we’ve been working on a game-streaming device, codename Keystone, that could be connected to any TV or monitor without the need for a console,” a Microsoft representative told Windows Central.

“As part of any technical journey, we are constantly evaluating our efforts, reviewing our learnings, and ensuring we are bringing value to our customers. We have made the decision to pivot away from the current iteration of the Keystone device. We will take our learnings and refocus our efforts on a new approach that will allow us to deliver Xbox Cloud Gaming to more players around the world in the future.”

Microsoft uncovered they were chipping away at the gadget around similar time they declared they were talking to TV manufacturers so as to implant the Xbox Cloud Streaming tech in to televisions.

“Xbox is working with global TV manufacturers to embed the Xbox experience directly into internet-connected televisions with no extra hardware required except a controller,” expressed another post on Xbox.com.

That thought likewise appears to have slowed down as no TVs right now transport with the innovation introduced. In the event that Microsoft could get both of these thoughts out it would enormously build their client base yet they truly do appear to be having problems.
