A future console may be on the way, as South Korean regulators recently approved a new dev kit. While it might be too soon for a new console generation, Microsoft could be working on an equivalent to the PS5 Pro.
Xbox News For Koreans broke the story and shared the news on Twitter. According to their post, South Korea’s National Radio Research Agency officially approved the “XDK Console” on March 18. With this approval now granted, Microsoft can begin distributing it to Korean game developers.

It’s hard to say what this new developer kit is specifically for. It may be an overhauled Xbox Series X console, essentially a “Series X Pro.” This would hardly be unpreceded, as both the 360 and One had multiple upgraded versions. The 360 had the Pro, Elite, S, and E versions, while the Xbox One had the confusingly named X and S models.
Others have suggested it could be for a new handheld console. While systems like the Logitech G Cloud and Razer Edge fill that niche via Cloud Gaming, Microsoft never developed a first-party handheld. However, as former Xbox head Robbie Bach revealed, Microsoft discussed it internally multiple times. Given the company’s recent investments in mobile gaming, a portable console might be back on the table.
A third option could be something VR-related. At one point, Microsoft intended to release a VR headset for the Xbox One. However, the company has been quiet about console VR for some time.

First there was an Xbox Store page, and now there is an age rating; might Hollow Knight: Silksong finally be about ready to release? Speculation concerning Team Cherry's PS5 and PS4 sequel is widespread right now, and a newly uncovered South Korean age rating has only fuelled online chatter. Interestingly, the age rating was actually registered in February, but the rating has only been brought to life now as fans dig deep for any fresh shred of information.
Stellar Blade is only a few weeks away, which means developer Shift Up has started doing its best to convince people why they need to play it. Its excellent demo is definitely helping the team achieve that goal, but director Kim Hyung Tae has been doing the rounds to provide more enticing details about Stellar Blade, and they're not just about Eve's figure.
Shift Up, the South Korean studio responsible for the upcoming Stellar Blade, appears to be hiring for a new project in Unreal Engine.
Stellar Blade's developer is already hiring for its next game, a "cross-platform next-gen project."
POSSIBLE SPOILERS! The upcoming Silent Hill 2 Remake has been rated by the ERSB, and the rating's description might hint at some new explicit scenes.
Multiple real-life images purported to depict an unannounced Xbox Series X model have emerged online. The pictures correspond with some recent rumors suggesting that Microsoft is working on a disc-less version of the Xbox Series X.
I've not played Hellgate: London, but I'm sure I must've passed it on the shelves in Gamestation (I'll never forget you, friend) way back when. Apparently, the original was a dark fantasy action RPG with roguelike elements and MMO subscription models before developer Flagship Studios shut down. Then it was re-released a bunch of times, with London giving way to Tokyo in one expansion. Now, Hellgate's original creator Bill Roper has announced he's working on a brand new Hellgate game under his new studio Lunacy Games.
The hot ticket for fans of cinematic thrills this April is Monkey Man, the first directorial effort from acclaimed actor Dev Patel. The marketing for the film promises exquisitely captured and well-crafted beatdowns in service of an emotionally relatable tale of avenging familial loss. Its other selling point has been the novelty of seeing Patel, an actor who has never been viewed as an “action star” by the public at large despite being an accomplished taekwondo practitioner, stepping into that role on screen for the first time.
In another interesting revelation, Xbox head Phil Spencer has reportedly backed the arrival of third-party game stores on game consoles. This has led to Xbox fans anticipating the possible launch of game stores, like Steam, on Microsoft's console.
Palworld could be getting dedicated servers sooner than expected for Xbox players, thanks to Tencent.
