He described it as expanding Xbox content to more people via “low cost-hardware,” making the product widely used and giving a better experience. From the start, people familiar with Xbox Streaming Device can relate to Microsoft’s spokesperson’s statement, “Our goal is to enable people to play the games they want, the devices they want, anywhere they want”. And he also said, “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 needing a console“. With the speedy growth of Cloud Gaming, this hardware will push more performance, but this is not only for Cloud Gaming. This device will also be used for streaming other items like Apple TV. Currently, there is no other qualified information about the device, but we expect it to launch later this year.
