The Redmond giant received approval in South Korea for new development kit for xbox which is identified with the model number 2089. This new kit was manufactured in China and Vietnam and the said certification is necessary for any technological device used in South Korea.

The approval means that the new Xbox development kit is complete and ready to go, but at this point the key question is why Microsoft is giving shape to the new development kit right now if, in theory, the company would cancel the Xbox. Series X Elite. A priori, the only thing that really makes sense is to think that he eventually told the console it would not be cancelledand that this new development kit is thinking about being able to use it.

There’s still nothing confirmed in this regard, so everything we’re saying at this point is pure speculation. However, the idea that Microsoft will eventually launch an Xbox Series as it would allow Redmond to compete with the PS5 Pro, a console that will arrive this year packed with new features and could further widen the gap in sales compared to the Xbox Series X and Series S.

It’s also possible that this new development kit is nothing more than an update to take advantage of the capabilities of the Xbox series a more economical, efficient and completely digital version. By eliminating the optical drive, Microsoft was able to significantly reduce the selling price, which should have a significant impact on the sales of this new console.

A new Xbox development kit has been certified in South Korea on March 18 of this year. As a precedent, we have the Xbox Series X and Series S certification date, which occurred in June 2020, just a few months before the launch of both consoles, which occurred in November of the same year. If this scenario repeats itself, a new Xbox could arrive between August and September of this year.

Personally, I am inclined to think that this is a kit intended for the new Xbox, more powerful and with a higher level of performance compared to the current model. The current Xbox Series X and Series S models are labeled as 1882 and 1881, and number 2089 represents a change in number which clearly points to a new and better model.
