Full review of Xbox Project Scorpio (Xbox One X). Xbox One X Pre-Order: First Project Scorpio Edition Launches Special Edition Consoles in the Xbox One Family

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). Support for 4K video and a virtual reality helmet are announced as the main improvements.

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

• 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 (helmets Oculus Rift, HTC Vive)
• All XBOX ONE games and accessories will work on XBOX One X Scorpio

• Support for DTS:X and Dolby Atmos surround sound technologies
• Release date in Russia announced for November 7, 2017

backward compatibility

All existing XBOX ONE games and accessories are planned to be compatible with the console. Xbox Project Scorpio. The game and app store will not be changed, all published content will be available on all consoles of the XBOX ONE series. Previously published and upcoming XBOX 360 games will only be available through the XBOX ONE and XBOX 360 Backward Compatibility Program, support for Xbox 360 apps is not expected.

Exclusive games

According to Xbox Games head of marketing Aaron Greenberg, the console Xbox Scorpio will not have any exclusive games - no one will be left out. Already, Microsoft is 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 the game you purchased from the Microsoft Store is available on those platforms at the same time. It also announced the future development of the Game Mode in operating system and complete unification game processes on various platforms from MS. That is, you can play such a game on Xbox, and then go to a Windows 10 PC and continue: all saves, settings, checkpoints and achievements will be saved.

Virtual reality

Technology virtual reality have plans Xbox Scorpio Napoleonic. It is clear that new VR-enabled games will be released, along with possible adaptations of some of the older ones. Declared support for virtual reality helmets Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, but purchase them with the expectation of future use with Xbox Scorpio until official confirmation of full compatibility is strongly discouraged.

Kinect sensor support

According to preliminary information in Xbox Scorpio support for Kinect 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 and games from the Xbox 360.

Graphics on Full HD TVs

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

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

In this way, Xbox Scorpio does not age Full HD (1080p) TVs, providing visual progress in graphics quality and rendering depth. Of course, in order to fully enjoy the quality of the video sequence 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 High Dynamic Range (HDR) for better performance and maximum graphics quality on compatible TVs.

Microsoft confirmed at its briefing last week that it is 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.

In principle, the main difference between this special edition and the regular Xbox One X is the inscription Project Scorpio. 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, then paying 40k for a set-top box that has nothing tasty in addition to the inscription on the side is not rational. A direct competitor in the face of the PS4 Pro, for example, in its "empty" version will cost 10,000 less. But here, to each his own. On the other hand, maybe this is the only way to get yourself Project Scorpio. Like it or not, 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 a favorite name, at a higher price.

On paper, the Xbox One X is the most powerful gaming console ever, boasting six teraflops of processing power. As planned by the developers, it should strengthen Microsoft's position in the console market, displacing the 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 some good exclusive content, then they have every chance of winning this race. Like it or not, but 6 teraflops in capable hands is a terrible force. (But are they skillful? - approx. Kurt-Live)
