Dataminers Think Codename "Keystone" Could Point To New Xbox Console
The Xbox Series X/S consoles haven't been out for too long, but it can be interesting to peer into the future to see what Microsoft could be working on. Mysteries and intrigue, sometimes video games can throw these up, and many of us like to ponder what it all means, particularly when it comes to console codenames. The latest entry in mysterious signs and symbols in video games is courtesy of a dataminer unearthing a word embedded deep within the data mines.

It's certainly a suggestive word, implying something important, vital, and ecosystem capping. Could this be something along the lines of the supercharged Xbox One X? An Xbox Series X One X?

From the highlighted part of the mine, Keystone is listed as a "product" and what lends the speculation credence is that "Keystone" is listed directly below "Durango" and "Scarlett". Indeed, Microsoft has previous using codenames for its consoles. Project Scarlett was announced at E3 in 2019 and was revealed eventually as the codename for Xbox Series X. Meanwhile, "Durango" was a codename for the Xbox One.

We don't quite know what "Keystone" means yet, but it is awfully tantalizing. And that it is next to code names for Xbox Series X and Xbox One is highly suggestive.
