Microsoft is working on an updated version of the Xbox game console. South Korea’s Radio Research Agency (RRA) recently certified the new Xbox Development Kit (XDK) for testing. As a rule, such certificates precede the launch of a new product by several months. In the case of the Xbox 360, the certification came only a month before its release.

Despite a lot of speculation, it is not known exactly what the console could be. Various sources and leaks suggest an upgraded Xbox Series X in all-white with no disc support, or a rumored portable version of the Xbox. It could also be an all-digital Xbox Series X or even an Xbox Series Pro. Only the code name of the new device is known – Xbox Series X “Brooklin”. However, it is unlikely that Microsoft will announce a new generation console. According to the company, it should be expected no earlier than 2026.
The last hardware update was officially commented on by Xbox VP Sarah Bond in February: “There will be some exciting things coming to the hardware that we’re going to share over the holidays.” The photo above shows the current version of XDK. It is not known what the new bundle or the new console will look like.
The 5th generation Xbox is likely to be released in 2026 and will use AMD’s RDNA5 and ZEN5 architectures
