Some time ago, Microsoft already announced its release plans - the new Xbox was presented during the E3 2016 conference. The project was presented as a hardware update to the existing platform in the XBOX ONE line -> XBOX ONE S -> XBOX ONE X (Xbox One Project Scorpio). The main improvements include support for 4K video and a virtual reality helmet.

According to the head of Microsoft's XBOX division, Phil Spencer, Xbox Scorpio was developed in response to the growing demand for 4K gaming and virtual reality technologies in the market personal computers along with the willingness of many existing games to improve hardware performance. For example, Halo 5: Guardians on this moment uses a dynamic scaling system that reduces the game resolution when necessary to maintain a constant frame rate. On Xbox Scorpio the game will run in native resolution, without applying image scaling.

XBOX ONE X

• The most powerful console at the time of release
• Full 4K video support for gaming, streaming, DVR, TV and Blu-Ray
• Support for virtual reality technologies (Oculus Rift, HTC Vive helmets)
• All XBOX ONE games and accessories will work on XBOX One X Scorpio
• Advanced hardware (8 core processor, 6 teraflops GPU)
• Supports DTS:X and Dolby Atmos surround sound technologies
• Release date in Russia announced for November 7, 2017

Specifications

Submitted specifications are preliminary and may be subject to change in the future. It is expected that the hardware configuration Xbox Scorpio will be improved due to the progress of electronic component production technologies by AMD, which produces processors for this platform.

• Processor: eight-core AMD Jaguar with increased frequency
• Graphics: 6 teraflops of computing and full support for 4K video
• Memory: 12GB GDR5 with 320GB/s bandwidth
• Disk: from 1TB (most likely SSD)

Regarding virtual reality technologies, plans are not yet clear. It is clear that new games will be released with VR support, or some of the old ones will be adapted. According to unverified rumors, to implement VR plans for XBOX Scorpio the Oculus system can be used.

	Xbox Scorpio	Xbox One	PS4 Pro
CPU	Octa-core x86 2.3GHz	Octa-core Jaguar 1.75GHz	Octa-core Jaguar 2.1GHz
GPU	40 units 1172MHz	12 GCN units 853MHz (Xbox One S: 914MHz)	36 GCN units 911MHz

Disk	1TB (2.5")	500GB/1TB/2TB (2.5")	1TB 2.5"
Drive	4K UHD Blu-ray	Blu-ray (Xbox One S: 4K UHD)	Blu-ray

backward compatibility

It is planned that all existing games and accessories for XBOX ONE will be compatible with the console Xbox Project Scorpio. The game and application store will not be changed, all published content will be available on all XBOX ONE series consoles. Previously published and planned XBOX 360 games will be available only through backward compatibility program for XBOX ONE and XBOX 360, support for applications from Xbox 360 is not expected.

Exclusive Games

According to Xbox Games marketing head Aaron Greenberg, the console Xbox Scorpio will not have any exclusive games - no one will be left out. Microsoft is already offering many of its games in development for two platforms at once - Xbox One (S) and Windows 10 through the Xbox Play Anywhere program (play anywhere). This means that a game purchased from the Microsoft Store will be available on these platforms at the same time. Future developments are also announced Game Mode in the operating system and complete unification of game processes on various platforms from MS. That is, you can play such a game on Xbox, and then switch to a PC with Windows 10 and continue: all saves, settings, checkpoints and achievements will be saved.

A virtual reality

Regarding technology virtual reality plans Xbox Scorpio Napoleonic. It's clear that new VR-ready games will be released, along with possible adaptations of some of the older ones. Support for virtual reality headsets announced Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, but purchase them with a view to future use with Xbox Scorpio until official confirmation full compatibility strongly not recommended.

Kinect sensor support

According to preliminary information in Xbox Scorpio Kinect support is planned. Perhaps this will be implemented through an adapter, as in XBOX ONE S. All games for the Kinect sensor released on Xbox One will be fully functional in Xbox Scorpio. There will be no compatibility with the previous generation Kinect sensor or Xbox 360 games.

Graphics on Full HD TVs

As it turned out, new Xbox Scorpio can significantly improve the display of graphics on an “old” TV or monitor. According to a new report from Windows Central, the following improvements are expected in Xbox Scorpio:

• Shader Model 6 - a new version An API for controlling shadow effects will provide better graphics rendering, as well as other shader compiler improvements.
• Xbox One games that use dynamic resolution scaling (such as Halo 5: Guardians), will run in native 1080p resolution at full frame rate. Goodbye lags and low FPS!
• 4K games available on Xbox One are nearly perfect on 1080p and 1440p TVs, thanks to supersampling and anti-aliasing effects that improve motion picture quality.

Thus, Xbox Scorpio does not age Full HD (1080p) TVs, providing visual progress in graphics quality and rendering depth. Of course, to fully enjoy the video quality in games, it is highly recommended to use a 4K TV. As with the Xbox One S, the Xbox Scorpio will also come with a 4K Blu-ray player and support for High Dynamic Range (HDR - technologies for working with images and videos, the range of brightness of which exceeds the capabilities of standard technologies) for better performance and maximum graphics quality on compatible TVs.

release date

Accurate XBOX Scorpio release date is not yet known, but according to Microsoft's plans, the product is expected to go on sale in the fall-winter of 2017. In March 2017 on Amazon's Spanish site information has appeared about the date the console will go on sale on December 29, 2017, which approximately corresponds to the statements of MS representatives about the launch of sales Xbox Scorpio during holidays. Perhaps this date will shift to the end of November to be more in line with the surge in pre-Christmas and New Year's shopping activity in Western countries.

The official presentation of the project with details is expected on June 11, 2017 at the E3 exhibition (Los Angeles, USA). If the rumors are confirmed, Microsoft will reveal the final name of the console, announce Xbox Scorpio release date for sale and will publish the exact specifications consoles. Perhaps we will also find out the debut list of next-gen games.

Price in Russia

The XBOX Scorpio console, like the Xbox One X, is designed as a response to the launch of Sony's PlayStation 4 Pro and similarly focuses on supporting the strong interest of gamers around the world in HDR, 4K and virtual reality gaming resolutions. Generally, price of the limited collector's version of Xbox Scorpio does not differ from the standard one, with the exception of the branding of the early release of the console - inscriptions on the case and gamepad Xbox Project Scorpio Edition. If you don’t have a 4K TV, you can use a 1440 TV, or enjoy high-speed FullHD without scaling and gain access to a further upgrade of your entertainment system towards a 4K projector and 7.1 sound. The largest Russian retail chains supplying electronic equipment have already begun accepting orders for Xbox One X at a price of 29,990 rubles (deliveries after November 7, 2017). The Xbox Scorpio Edition is still shipping, and the Xbox One X will evolve as the HDR and 4K TV market becomes more active.

Microsoft confirmed at its briefing that it was now possible to pre-order the Xbox One X Project Scorpio Edition. You can make a purchase right now on the official xbox website here.

Basically, the main difference between this special edition and the regular Xbox One X is the Project Scorpio inscription. Of course, if you are a fan of Microsoft products in general or Xbox (One) consoles in particular, this may attract attention, but as for me, paying 40k for a console that, apart from the inscription on the side, has nothing else tasty in the kit, is not rational. A direct competitor in the form of PS4 Pro, for example, in its “empty” version will cost 10,000 less. But here, to each his own. On the other hand, this may be the only opportunity to get your hands on Project Scorpio. Whatever one may say, the Microsoft brand was promoted well. It is possible that this was done precisely in order to rebrand at the last moment, and then sell the same console, only with the favorite name, at a higher price.

On paper, the Xbox One X is the most powerful gaming console yet, boasting six teraflops of processing power. According to the developers, it should strengthen Microsoft’s position in the console market, displacing PS4 Pro and Nintendo Switch. A new stage of console racing is just around the corner. If the xbox team chooses the right strategy and gets good exclusive content, then they have every chance of winning this race. Whatever one may say, 6 teraflops in capable hands is a terrible force. (But are they skilled? - note Kurt-Live)
