E3 2016: Microsoft announces the next Xbox, Project Scorpio

4.7
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.

lolohnoeszsz Quite interesting it seems it'll have roughly the same Tflops as a GTX 1070. I can see this console costing a lot though probably around $550-599. I mean the GTX 1070 by itself is anywhere from $450-600.

Honestly I think it's just best to upgrade to a PC. This console seems like it'll only last a few years just like the X1.


No where close, It's a $300 console.


That was for the Slim wasn't it?
All they said about Scorpio is its hitting stores next year

kelland55 This may be a stupid question. So is the Scorpio project a whole new Xbox? Like its the next consol that will last for 5 years or so before another one comes out


Appears it will be something like what Xbox did in the past for Xbox 360 Slim, a whole new Xbox won't be out for a few more years to come.


But on E3 they released the announcement of the xbox scorpio alongside the announcement of the xbox one slim. So maybe it will be a new system


Hmmmm, yeah, interesting. We shall see over time :)
