Tencent is launching a Windows 10-based game console in China

Tencent, the publisher of popular games like League of Legends, has announced the Tencent Games Platform (TGP) BOX for a release in its home country of China. It's a Windows 10-based game console that can download games and can also live stream gameplay sessions.

The console uses Intel's current sixth generation Core processors, but there's no other information on its hardware specs. AllChinaTech states:

In TGP BOX mode, players can not only quickly download or update massive games from the game store, but also start a local game or live stream gaming sessions. So far, the TGP console has imported many Tencent games, such as League of Legends, FIFA Online 3, NBA 2K, Monster Hunter, Need for Speed, etc. In addition, the platform will also introduce more high-quality games from third-party developers this year.

There's no word on a price for the TGP Box, nor is there word on a release date for the console. There's also no indication on if it will be released outside of China.
