Xbox boss Phil Spencer has shed more light on why Microsoft has, for now, abandoned its plans to release a streaming-only version of its games console.
Back in May, Microsoft confirmed it had shelved the project – known as 'Keystone' – although there was further speculation about work on the device after the prototype was spotted on Spencer's shelf during an Xbox broadcast.
This week, Spencer was interviewed on The Verge's Decoder podcast, with VGC reporting that he attributed the decision to pause work on Keystone due to costs.
