Development Kits are game console variations for game developers to develop, test, and debug games on before releasing them to the public.
'''[[wikipedia:Game development kit|Development kits]]''' are game console variations for game developers to develop, test, and debug games on before releasing them to the public.


Development Kits usually come with a development build of the system firmware/operating system that enables debugging features such as sideloading games, emulating/spoofing specific conditions, or being attached to external debuggers, but not always the capability to run currently existing commercial games.

Development Kits may also have a different hardware configuration and chassis design than a retail console for the requirements and ease of video game development.
