Xbox “mobile style” dashboard may have been leaked by Top Gear

Update, 6.18pm: In a statement to Eurogamer, Xbox denied it had plans for “a Rimac dashboard”, and called the new streamlined dash a “mockup”.

“We currently have no plans for an Xbox Rimac dashboard,” an Xbox spokesperson said. “For more information about this mockup video, please reach out to the Rimac team.”

Original story follows.

Original story, 5pm:: A Top Gear segment about vehicle manufacturer Rimac may have unwittingly leaked a new mobile Xbox dashboard.

As spotted and uploaded to social media by XboxCore, the reveal came in a recent Top Gear segment about the Robotaxi.

It features a dash that is considerably different to the current iteration most Xbox fans would recognise, its signature “blades” reimagined to better suit a handheld device.

It’s only quick – five seconds, in fact – but here’s a quick glimpse of it, as captured by XboxCore:

Games like Fortnite, Halo Infinite, and The Finals feature on the front page, although it’s unclear what modes and features would be available for those gaming on the go.

The demonstrator says the Xbox functionality in the Robotaxi has been designed “to emulate the feeling that you have in your own living room”.

We’ve reached out to Xbox for comment and will update you just as soon as we know more.

Remember Microsoft’s Xbox cloud gaming device, codenamed Keystone? The one that got announced in 2021, was cancelled in its original form a year later, then showed up on Phil Spencer’s shelf after that, bamboozling everyone?

Well, if you’ve ever wondered what it could have looked like in more detail, a newly surfaced patent might have some answers.

A side-by-side comparison with the “old prototype” version of Keystone that appeared on Phil Spencer’s desk in October 2022 also supports that claim, with both the patent and prototype version featuring the same front panel.
