Xbox and its Cloud Platform
One of Microsoft's most famous subsidiaries is its gaming department, the Xbox, and its cloud platform is among the highest-regarded experiences in the world. Apart from its massive focus on the gaming console, the company is also famous for its extensive library which it regularly updates for the many experiences for its constituents.
The company's streaming platform is also a place to gather knowledge as the Xbox Live Gold offers professional game development courses to the public, starting at $20.
With many offers available on its cloud platform now, Xbox seems to have it all for its experience for the public, but it still longs for one, and that is with the Keystone. It will focus more on the entertainment side of the company, focusing on game streaming to deliver to its potential users should it release the device for all.

Spencer's latest interview revealed the fate of the Xbox Keystone development, now heading to a dark path for its future of uncertainty.
