"Project Scorpio" Promises Something Big

Project Scorpio
Microsoft has told fans of Xbox to "brace for big news" at the E3 event this June in Los Angeles, signaling that the company is planning a full reveal for its upcoming 4K-capable Xbox console, code-named "Project Scorpio."

The upcoming reveal promises to shed light on many hardware-specific details that have remained shrouded in mystery since the console was first announced — and 4K resolution support appears to be at the forefront of Microsoft’s upcoming marketing strategy.

First announced at E3 in 2016, Project Scorpio is an upgraded version of Microsoft’s current-generation Xbox One console. Claiming that Project Scorpio is "the most powerful console ever," Microsoft revealed that it will support all existing Xbox One games and accessories, in addition to 4K displays and virtual reality technology.

"The next step-change for gamers and developers must deliver true 4K gaming and high-fidelity VR experiences to the console," Phil Spencer, Microsoft’s head of Xbox, said in 2016. "When it ships next year, Project Scorpio will be our most powerful console ever built, specifically to lead the industry into a future in which true 4K gaming and high-fidelity VR are the standard, not an exception."
