Microsoft has just confirmed the existence of an upgraded Xbox console.

Microsoft has announced Project Scorpio, the next Xbox console. During its E3 2016 briefing, head of Xbox Phil Spencer said he believes it will be the most powerful console ever.

Scorpio will boast an 8-core CPU, with a GPU capable of 6 teraflops. This graphics processor will be the most powerful in a console, according to the announcement.

Microsoft promises “true” 4K gaming and “high-fidelity virtual” reality with Scorpio, which will coexist alongside the 2013 Xbox One, as well the newly-announced S model. All games available on either console, as well as accessories, will be compatible with Scorpio.

It’s due for release holiday 2017.

XeBrizzle Woah! that was quick, didn't think they'd be doing anything so soon.


It's been quite a while since the original was launched, over 2 and a half years old. I expected one to be launched around the 3 year mark.

In my opinion, I am glad Xbox is expanded console range. Allows for more possiblities with consumers.

Prices for this console will be through the roof.. but it will be nice to see it in action closer to release date. But hopefully it smacks the PS 4.5
