Xbox said last month that it is working with TV makers to offer Xbox content to Internet-connected TV users without additional hardware other than a controller. This app will allow users to access a game streaming service called xCloud on their TVs.
For TVs that are not connected to the Internet, there will be another option – a set-top box for streaming content. This device connects to a TV or monitor and allows users to access xCloud. The source posted the first images and details of a device called the Xbox Stream Box.
The small white box has the Xbox logo, the front has a USB-A port and power button, while the back has Ethernet, USB-C, and HDMI ports. The source says the prototype was built earlier this year and the commercial device is expected to launch later this year. However, due to the global shortage of microcircuits, the launch may be postponed.
In terms of dimensions, the Xbox Stream Box will be slightly larger in size than a deck of playing cards. When connected to a TV, users will be able to stream from their game console or from xCloud. They will also be able to connect to the device not only an Xbox controller, but also a wireless keyboard and mouse.
The Xbox Stream Box to connect to the Internet will be able to use not only the Ethernet port, but also the built-in Wi-Fi module. Other features mentioned include support for group chat and streaming apps like HBO and Disney +.

This device may appeal to those users who have not yet acquired smart TVs, or those who travel often – the set-top box can be connected to a TV in a hotel or any other place.
