It’s for “that premium customer, the gamer that expects the absolute best versions of the games,” says Microsoft.

Microsoft’s new Xbox console, codenamed Project Scorpio, will be more expensive than the PlayStation 4 Pro.

The PS4 Pro currently retails for $579 in the US and £349 in the UK – no small beans.

According to Eurogamer’s interview with Mike Ybarra, corporate VP of Xbox at Microsoft, Project Scorpio is for “that premium customer, the gamer that expects the absolute best versions of the games”. And the site states that “one thing seems clear: Project Scorpio will be more expensive than PS4 Pro.”

Microsoft has revealed the tech specs for Project Scorpio today in a collaboration with Digital Foundry.

First talked about last year, Project Scorpio is Microsoft’s hardware refresh for the Xbox One and takes on Sony’s PS4 Pro, released late in 2016.

We’re expecting to see a bunch of Scorpio games announced at E3 in June, including a detailed look at those already confirmed including Crackdown 3 and Sea of Thieves.
