TV news: With the death of Keystone, will Xbox permanently abandon its streaming console plans?

This week in the Eurogamer Newscast we discuss the canceled Xbox Project Keystone: Microsoft’s plans to launch a relatively inexpensive streaming console.

Keystone appeared yesterday in an old patent that detailed the envisioned hardware in new detail, although we’ve of course seen it in the wild before – on Xbox boss Phil Spencer’s shelf. Spencer brought up Keystone’s cancellation and blamed its abandonment (literally) on Microsoft’s failure to make it a cheap enough proposition.

But does the end of Keystone mean Microsoft is abandoning its cloud gaming plans altogether? No, of course not – and Xbox Cloud Gaming remains. And in the future, as internet speeds improve and streaming games becomes more common, could we see Keystone Version 2? This week, I’m joined by Eurogamer’s Ed Nightingale and Victoria Kennedy to discuss.
