The prototype development kit for the original Xbox looks like an old desktop PC from the 1990s, which makes sense for Microsoft because the company is also the creator of Windows.
Original Xbox creator Seamus Blackley responded to a post on Twitter showing a user having a wrap on their Xbox Series X that made the console look like an old desktop PC from three decades ago. Blackley showed a picture of what the prototype development kit looked like for Microsoft's first console.
People who are unaware that this looks a lot like the prototype @Xbox devkits will not understand why I just aspirated my coffee. Here’s what they looked like: https://t.co/URhgKDH8Og pic.twitter.com/Iy7Y4UyxLh
It's shaped like a silver desktop PC with the words «Xbox development kit» on it, along with a power button and DVD drive. The middle of the prototype development kit sports a big green X logo, and the bottom has a small engraving that says «Alpha II.»
This isn't the only Xbox development we've seen. The Xbox One X's development kit was shown off in a video a few years ago.
The original Xbox was released in 2001 and Microsoft has been in the console space since then with the Xbox 360, Xbox One, and now Xbox Series X|S. Thanks to Xbox's backwards compatibility program, you an still play some original Xbox games on Microsoft's latest consoles.

Baldur's Gate 3 Dev Has Bad News for PS Plus, Xbox Game Pass Subscribers
Based on a recent series of tweets from Larian Studios CEO Swen Vincke, it doesn't sound like Baldur's Gate 3 will be coming to any subscription service like PS Plus or Xbox Game Pass anytime soon. Vincke's discussion comes shortly after discourse surrounding a Ubisoft CEO saying fans should get used to not owning their games was shared in many online circles; in short, it seems Vincke wholeheartedly disagrees.

The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered turns the original game into a cruel punch line
It was a sunny spring day in 2020, amid the social isolation of the COVID-19 pandemic, when I beatThe Last of Us Part 2. As its long credits rolled, I paced around my small apartment living room unpacking what transpired. I adored the sequel’s first two acts and its multifaceted discussion of cyclical violence, but I found myself critical of its California-set finale. It seemed to backtrack on all the nuance of Ellie and Abbey’s struggle by introducing a definitively evil faction that I wouldn’t feel bad about shooting with a machine gun. It was a discordant note at the end of a symphony, but I was determined to dig below my surface and try to understand what Naughty Dog was going for. It had earned that.
