In February 2024, Microsoft confirmed to the world that it was working on a new console, and in fact that we would be hearing from it “very soon.” specifically on vacationwhich is generally interpreted as Christmas time.
We know little, but there is an important detail that was said during the event where they told us about it, that is that different “unique aspects” are being tested for its construction, who knows what it is East. Many of us speculated that it might be a Steam Deck-style handheld console, but that’s just speculation at the moment.
We have more to come. There are some exciting things coming in terms of hardware that we will be sharing this holiday season. We are also investing in the next generation roadmap. What we’re really focused on is making the biggest technical advancement you’ve ever seen in a generation of hardware, making it better for gamers and better for creators and the visions they build.
The development kit is a new model, so it is intended to be specific to a new machine
Now we know more, it’s not a big deal, but for those of us who follow the hardware world closely, it’s a good clue. And the development kit of this machine has already been classified in South Koreawhich unequivocally leads us to think that the console is more advanced than we think.
This new devkit carries as model name RR-MSK-2089 and is manufactured in China and Vietnam. Microsoft registered it on March 18, 2024. Otherwise, there is not much more information about it.
As for whether it will be a midgen model, we do not know, what is certain is that this development kit does not correspond to the current model, we can therefore exclude that it is of the development kit for the rumored white Xbox Series. Basically you don’t need a different kit than the Series X if the hardware is the same.
