Microsoft seems to be getting ready for a new hardware release. As spotted by X (formerly Twitter) account Xbox News for Koreans (via GamesHorizon), a new Xbox development kit has seemingly been certified by South Korea’s National Radio Research Agency. The certification essentially allows the hardware to be used in the country.
Going by the official website for the National Radio Research Agency, it would seem that the certification happened just yesterday, being dated March 18, 2024. The listing is for an “XDK Console” by Microsoft. XDK in this case would stand for Xbox Development Kit—the hardware used by development studios to develop games.
Sadly, no further details about the devkit are available, and considering the typical R&D cycle for gaming consoles, it’s possible that we’re looking at a mid-gen upgrade for the Xbox Series X/S hardware rather than an entirely new console.
The company did say earlier this year that work on the next-gen Xbox was underway, but we’re also supposed to get new hardware later this year.

Stellar Blade studio Shift Up has discussed its DLC plans for the upcoming PS5 exclusive.
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.
The new Hollow Knight game, Silksong has officially bee rated in South Korea ahead of its release, which isn’t supposed to be until sometime late 2024. However, the game has gone through many delays which has people wondering if this release date will actually stick.
Shift Up, the South Korean studio responsible for the upcoming Stellar Blade, appears to be hiring for a new project in Unreal Engine.
There’s been quite the commotion about Team Cherry’s Hollow Knight: Silksong due to its Xbox Store page and ESRB rating suddenly going live. If those aren’t enough to indicate an impending announcement, the highly anticipated Metroidvania has been rated “12+” in South Korea.
Hollow Knight: Silksong has been classified in South Korea, suggesting news about the game’s release date could be on the way.
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.
PlayStation suggested earlier this year that the Silent Hill 2 remake would be out sometime in 2024, but other than repeated assurances that the game is in the final stages of development, neither Konami nor developer Bloober Team have said anything at all about a launch date. Recent developments have, however, indicated that that could change in the not-too-distant future.
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.
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.
