Microsoft Banned Us: 40GB RAM Xbox Series X Developer Kit Tear-Down (XDK)
27,322We got a Microsoft Xbox XDK (Devkit) for the Series X console, but because it was banned, our only content option was to do a tear-down. We discovered a huge amount of RAM!

This video features an Xbox Developer Kit that was custom-built for the Series X. We tried to use it offline first and attempted all forms of testing and gaming on it, even using it in offline mode and avoiding accounts, but unfortunately, Microsoft had already issued a hardware-level ban to this device that completely blocked it from even playing games that can run only off of the disc. If you know how to get around this, let us know!
