Xbox Scorpio Release Date, News & Update: $427 Leaks Ahead Of E3; Incredible Power Hinted

Xbox Scorpio is expected to take the gaming world by storm as soon as it hits the market, and unless it becomes available at a more budget-friendly price. Although there have been speculations about the likely cost, Microsoft is set to reveal the actual price details for the new console during the next E3 that will kick off on June 13.

Xbox Scorpio Will Likely Be Priced Higher

Rumors claim that the upcoming Xbox Scorpio will be given a price tag of €399, which is around $427 in the US and £335 in the UK when converted. The rumored price was revealed by a Spanish retailer through a Twitter post.

The Xbox Scorpio price is currently the subject of different reports that seem to point to conflicting price points. While it is important to note that the console's price could be a major obstacle, Microsoft has reportedly considered the new gaming console as a premium product, suggesting that it may be priced higher than the Xbox One S.

In fact, Xbox head Phil Spencer has stated that the console will provide the demands of the high-end users. This is the reason why it may come with a more expensive price, Twinfinite reported.

Microsoft Reveals Xbox Scorpio's Incredible Power

While there is not much details known about Xbox Scorpio, the recent photos of the new console reveal that something epic is about to come. Ahead of its highly-awaited release, Microsoft posted several photos that show how the console's graphics would be different from the Xbox One.

The Xbox Scorpio demo images reveal how the console, which runs up to 4K, would appear against the Xbox One. Based on these, the finer details are so clear that the users could even spot the various strands in the character's hair. However, the differences are also said to bring a huge effect on the gameplay while the characters are moving on screen, The Sun reported.
