New Xbox Dev Kit Rated In South Korea

A new Xbox dev kit has been rated in South Korea.

First found and reported by Xbox News for Koreans, this new Xbox dev kit was approved on Monday, March 18. With a model number 2089, this kit was manufactured in China and Vietnam.

“Under the laws in Korea, all electronic devices in Korea must be certified by the National Radio Research Agency that there is no risk of harming the radio wave environment,” Xbox News for Koreans posted. “Without getting certified, you can’t use the device in Korea.”

With approval from the agency, the device is now able to be used in the country and “is likely to be distributed to game developers in Korea soon.”

Whether this is a next-gen Xbox or the long-rumored mid-gen refresh of the console remains to be seen. However, it is further proof to the notion made by Microsoft that the Xbox Series X|S consoles weren’t going to be the company’s last systems.

The latest Xbox console rumors have centered around an all-digital all-white Xbox Series X console set to launch this summer. Microsoft, however, have yet to comment on the rumors or respond to multiple requests for comment on the system.

For what it’s worth, the Xbox Series X|S dev kits were rated in South Korea in June 2020, ahead of the consoles November 2020 launch.
