Dev Box capabilities coming to Windows 365

Microsoft Dev Box, launched in July 2023, is a Cloud PC optimised for developers. It’s built on Windows 365 and Microsoft now announce that the developer capabilities of Dev Box will move to Windows 365 and be enabled with Windows 365 Frontline. No new Dev Box customers will be accepted from 1 November, 2025, but existing customers can use and scale their Dev Box deployments as usual. Organisations that have previously evaluated or tested Dev Box and now need to onboard after November 1, 2025 can request an exception.

Microsoft Dev Box is generally available

Microsoft announce the general availability of Dev Box – think Windows 365 optimised for developer use cases and productivity.

In common with Windows 365, users need to be licensed for Windows 11 Enterprise, Intune and Azure Active Directory Premium Plan 1, and then there’s a fee for the Dev Box services each month. And this is where it’s a bit different… You need to pay a flat monthly storage fee – which differs depending on which Dev Box configuration you’ve chosen – and then you pay an hourly compute fee for each hour of active usage during the month. However, for each Dev Box type there’s a maximum monthly price and when a Dev Box’s total cost (including its monthly storage and hourly compute) reaches the level of the maximum monthly price, billing will automatically stop for that Dev Box.
