The streaming device that Xbox boss Phil Spencer announced in the summer of 2021 is still in the planning stages. The reason here is a question of costs, because up to now the production would not have been efficient enough. Now Spencer has given an approximate price.

Nevertheless, the streaming device is not off the table yet. Both the software and the hardware would still be fine-tuned. He already has one price range in the sense that he wants to achieve with “Keystone”.
“I don’t want to announce any specific prices, but I think it has to be $99 – $129 It’s somewhere in between, so I think it makes sense, and we just haven’t been there,” Spencer said.

Xbox: No big adjustment necessary
The upcoming streaming device isn’t just about the hardware itself, it’s also user interface must fit and here Xbox fans probably do not have to get used to it. The user interface should not differ from that of the Xbox console.
However, it is still uncertain whether Phil Spencer will stick to the decision. In an interview with the Wall Street Journal last month, the Xbox boss said the release of the device was “years away” could be (Source: Wall Street Journal).
