Kicking off EVO 2014, the world’s largest fighting game tournament, Razer has revealed the Atrox Arcade Stick for the Xbox One. A top of the line, tournament-ready fighting stick, the Atrox is fully-customizable, and has been designed with modders and eSports professionals in mind. Razer has also partnered with Microsoft to produce a limited edition faceplate for the Xbox One launch exclusive Killer Instinct, which will feature heavily at EVO.

The Atrox features a joystick and buttons from leading Japanese arcade part manufacturer Sanwa Denshi. The inside opens up with the touch of a single button and is built around an internal honeycomb structure for easy customization to your particular taste. It also contains storage compartments for the included swappable bat-top joystick, detachable USB cable, and screwdriver for modding.

Some of the world’s leading eSports athletes, many of whom are competing at EVO 2014, took part in extensive beta testing for the controller, so it has been refined to meet the most exacting professional standards for which Razer’s gaming peripherals have become known.

The Razer Atrox Arcade Stick for Xbox One is now available for $200.

In a company interview with CEO Yves Guillemot posted on the Ubisoft website Thursday, the executive reveals that there are remakes of Assassin's Creed games in the works, although he doesn't specify which ones.

"Players can be excited about some remakes, which will allow us to revisit some of the games we've created in the past and modernize them," he says, implying that it could pertain to games made before Odyssey. "There are worlds in some of our older Assassin's Creed games that are still extremely rich."

Surfaced patent shows what an Xbox streaming console would’ve looked like

An Xbox Series X sits next to both Series S models.

There have been a few Xbox devices that have never come to fruition, one of which was Keystone, a prototype for an affordable game streaming device you could hook up to your TV or monitor. Thanks to a surfaced patent, we've gotten an even closer look at what it would've potentially looked like.

The patent, first spotted by Windows Central, gives us a more complete view of the device. We've previously seen the Keystone in the flesh. Microsoft Gaming head Phil Spencer is known for hiding teases and interesting collectibles on the shelf in his office. In a 2022 X (formerly Twitter) post congratulating Bethesda on Fallout's 25th anniversary, you can see a small white device on the top shelf that's actually a Keystone prototype. Xbox told Digital Trends that it was a version of the device made before it decided to "refocus our efforts on a new approach.”
