Likely all it is but would you need to send out all new devkits for that?

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
So much for the '2027' deadline.

The adorable devkit? But what an incredibly opportunistic thread!

Maybe we actually are getting the Xbox Series Adorable.

A hardware redesign without any change in specs wouldn't warrant different developer kits.

That vacuum cleaner All-Digital Series X wouldn't need a new devkit, and I don't think they're doing a Pro this gen.
So, this is probably that "Next-box" hardware gen and this is the first of likely many devkits for it as they iterate.
Those 2026 rumors might've been accurate after all.
Would be very surprised if there's any new hardware outside the vacuum cleaner All-Digital Series X, and like others have said that wouldn't require a whole new devkit.
This is probably for a hardware platform beyond Series consoles, and likely the first of a series of devkit iterations. I highly doubt MS are going to launch a new generation of hardware this year, but those 2026 hardware rumors from weeks/months ago might've been accurate.
Also meaning certain other rumors may've been accurate, but that is a different discussion (kind of).

The last certified XDK was in 2020 for XSS and XSX.... Curious moment to say the least.and more thinking about what they are going to "announce new hardware for hollidays"

Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t this pretty standard for NexGen consul? Seems like the first or beta versions for some future consul doesn’t mean there’s a pro available just means that maybe Microsoft is trying to get way out of the game and get some beta development tools out so they have better efficiency on launch in a few years

I am still expecting the nextbox to launch much earlier than the PS6 but this seems very early for devkits for that Xbox
I dunno maybe the handheld?

Perhaps they've redesigned the kits so they're cheaper to produce. It would be a new electronics device and would thus require new certification.

They shouldn't bother with a slim Xbox redesign, just give us a more powerful machine by hook or by crook.
The optics of them launching a Slim console as Sony launches a Pro console, with no more powerful Xbox on the horizon, will be further devastation to a system that just needs a win somewhere.

I mean, more power isn't the reason for Xbox's woes in console hardware sales, but 30-35 TF of (single-issue) shader compute in 2026 is believable.
Still don't think yet another traditional console will do anything for them though; they need a significantly different business model and it should be obvious what that is. If they do it or not is a whole different question.

You say that, but devs are people too. Wouldn’t they want to have an adorable dev kit vs current with brutalist architecture? Plus MS is courting Japanese developers and adorable == kawaii as my kids tell me from their mangas and animes!

It's coarse and it gets everywhere. I hate it.
Only if you want a new one.
But the new Xbox Series S/X will have updated I/O so that warrants new devkits

Every time Microsoft encounters a problem with lack of quality software, they release new hardware. Always doing the same thing over and over while expecting a different result.
