Remember that news about an Xbox games streaming device? Allegedly, Microsoft is working on a device that lets gamers stream Xbox games on monitors and TVs. Well, that rumour might be true after all, as renders of the so-called Xbox Stream box was leaked.

That's right, we have our first look at what this Xbox Stream Box would look like, thanks to an anonymous source (via @PostUp_bbb). As you can see, it's significantly smaller than an Xbox One X/S console. But it has ports for USB Type-A, USB Type-C, HDMI, and Ethernet, which should be enough for most users. For audio, you probably have to use the audio jack on the controller or use a Bluetooth headset.

Obviously, this device was designed for monitors and TVs without an Internet connection. Also, you will have to get an Xbox Game Pass to stream Xbox games on the device. The source claimed that Microsoft planned to launch this by the end of 2021, but that might not happen due to the global supply shortages.

Of course, there's no official news on this yet, so take the rumour with a grain of salt. Moreover, this Xbox Stream Box might not even launch in Malaysia. But if it does, would you be interested in getting one? Let us know in the comments, and stay tuned to TechNave for more news like this.
