Might not be confirmed but it was part of an article that MS approved of. They appear to be testing the waters.

I'm not a big gamer but unlimited cloud gaming seemed too good to be true to me.

It works perfectly on a fast home connection over ethernet, mind blowing how responsive it is and load times are non existent.

But as far as I can tell most people subscribe to game pass anyway? Why buy the hardware at all when I can just cloud game in the same subscription. .

I suspect if the threat of AI cloning pans out as some say, we may see a sharp return to streaming - perhaps devs releasing on streaming platforms only - as an ultimate form of anti-piracy

Series/S costs 1000 Euros and Series/X costs about 1700 right now so it'll likely be even higher unless ram prices finally crash.

At least here in the UK, that's off by a lot.

Here, Series S is £400-£430 for 512GB or £500-£520 for 1TB.

Xbox Series X is £600-£620 for digital 1TB or £50 more for the disc version. That's much more than I paid for mine a year after launch (£450 I think), but luckily still nowhere near 1700 Euros.
