Xbox One X Project Scorpio Edition Officially Announced And Pre-Orders Are Now Open

At E3 2017 Microsoft officially unveiled their souped-up 4K console, the Xbox One X, but oddly, they didn’t immediately open up pre-orders. Fans have been waiting for months to claim their Xbox One X, but Microsoft has remained mum on when they’d get their chance. Thankfully, that’s finally changed.

During today’s Xbox @ Gamescom livestream, Microsoft announced the Xbox One X Project Scorpio Edition, a special limited run version of the console that references Xbox history and the system’s original codename. Microsoft also announced that Xbox One X pre-orders are finally available starting today at all major retailers.

Xbox One X Project Scorpio Edition

As you can see, the Xbox One X special edition has the words “Project Scorpio” written on both the system and controller in classic Xbox neon green, and there’s a cool “dynamic graphic pattern” on the console’s shell. Other than these aesthetic difference, the Project Scorpio Edition is a standard Xbox One X with no extra features or internal hardware differences. The price is also the same as the standard Xbox One X — $500.
