It's unclear whether the bundle is arriving on other markets

The team at Microsoft in charge of the Xbox One seems to be ready to introduce a new bundle version of the home console, which is named the Independent Developers Pack and allows gamers to get an improved piece of hardware, as well as a number of new titles.

At the moment, this version of the platform is only offered in Australia, and the company has not said whether it has plans to also launch it in North America or in Europe.

The Xbox One Independent Developers Pack will include the 500 GB version of the device, but the real star when it comes to hardware is the new wireless controller that includes an actual headphones jack.

Buyers will also get access to 14 days of Xbox Live trial access and a normal HDMI cable.

When it comes to video games, Microsoft is offering gamers access to titles like Warframe, Hand of Fate, Never Alone, IDARB, Threes!, and Jackbox Party Pack.

This represents a nice selection of video games, even if not all the titles can be classically seen as indies.

It's also unclear while Microsoft is not offering Minecraft with the Xbox One Independent Developers Pack, given the fact that the game is the most attractive in its line-up.

Gamers will not pay extra for the new bundle.

The Xbox One might get a 1 TB hard drive version soon

The new bundle shows that Microsoft has long-term plans to try and capture the attention of players with new home console packages that showcase the line-up of video games available at the moment.

Rumors are also talking about an entirely new version of the Xbox One, which has a 1 TB hard drive and is supposed to be revealed during the E3 2015 event and will be launched before the end of the month.

FCC documents have recently revealed that Sony is planning to reveal two versions of the PlayStation 4, one with a 1 TB hard drive, which might also be shown to the public during the coming gaming event.

The two companies need to deliver both new hardware and exclusive video games for them in order to make sure that they attract the attention of players and keep them satisfied in the long term.
