New Microsoft XDK Console revealed before rumoured summer Xbox releases

Xbox News for Koreans has noticed a new regulatory document that could relate to a future Xbox console of some sort. As the screenshot below shows, the National Radio Research Agency (NRRA) has certified a Microsoft Corporation XDK Console for use in South Korea. For reference, XDK means 'Xbox Development Kit' in this context.

Please note that this NRRA certification is not a sign of Microsoft's intention to release a device called 'XDK Console'. However, a new XDK Console certification precedes an Xbox console release later the same year. For example, Windows Central demonstrated that Microsoft made equivalent regulatory filings for the Xbox Series S|X in mid-2020. Unfortunately, the NRRA does not show many other details about Microsoft's XDK Console, other than revealing its '2089' model number.

With that being said, Microsoft is expected to present refreshed Xbox Series S and Series X consoles in late June, a month after an updated controller codenamed 'Sebile' arrives. Supposedly, these Series S and Series X refreshes will not launch until late August and October 2024, respectively. Incidentally, Microsoft recently confirmed that it would introduce new consumer Surface products in May, full details of which we have covered separately. As for the company's Xbox refreshes, the leaked FTC slides from last September may have already outlined what to expect from both upcoming consoles and their accompanying controllers.
