During last month’s Business Update, Phil Spencer explained that Microsoft is absolutely not abandoning the hardware market, on the contrary: there are several hardware projects in the pipeline, including the new next generation console and a defined device “innovative“. And now it seems that something is starting to move.
The Korean electronic device certification body has in fact just published certification Of a new XDK, i.e. the Xbox Developer Kit: A special version of the console used by video game developers. Typically, this type of certification occurs when a new device is about to hit the market: in fact, the previous Dev Kit certification from the same body dates back to June 2020, when Microsoft was preparing to provide the Xbox Series
What does this mean? It is very likely that this indicates the arrival of a new Xboxlet’s imagine a refresh mid-gen like the previous one Xbox One X; and the timing of the certification indicates that the refresh could arrive at the end of the year, in the September-October period.
As they say, when there’s smoke… we just have to wait for any official announcements, which will probably arrive during the already highly anticipated June Showcase!
