Here's everything we know about Microsoft's next console, dubbed project Scorpio
MICROSOFT has offered a sneak peak of its new console, which is currently being developed under the code name Project Scorpio.
The new console is billed as the "most powerful console in the world" and promises high definition graphics and super-speedy processing power to offer the perfect gaming experience.
The new console is expected to arrive in shops in time for Christmas this year.
It will take over from the Xbox One S as the company's flagship device.
Microsoft have left gamers in the lurch when it comes to the look and feel of the console.
What can we expect in the new Xbox console?
But it has revealed the tech specs, which on first glance, suggest it could be even more powerful than they Playstation 4 Pro.
Project Scorpio comes with 6 Teraflops of graphics hardware, which gives a huge processing power, claims , which was handed an exclusive sneak peak by Microsoft.
It's also got huge 12GB GDDR5 memory card and a custom eight-core CPU which means 326gb badnwidth, a 60 percent boost in available memory for games from Xbox One.
That's in addition to a state-of-the-art cooling system which keeps everything running smoothly.
Throw in 4k graphics and a mysterious "high fidelity virtual reality" and gamers are sure to be salivating.
How much will the new Xbox console cost?
But at what cost?
The tech giant has kept mum on how much the new Xbox will be, but with such high quality hardware and improved customisation, it's likely to be pretty steep.
The Xbox One S started at around £299, and with this much power, it's certain to be a good bit more.
Will it have Virtual Reality accessories?
There's no word on a specific VR headset, but it's likely that it will integrate with the Rift or HTC Vive.
For now, the only clues Microsoft are publically giving away are on its pre-orders site.
It boasts "The most powerful console ever with 6 teraflops of graphical processing power"..."The first and only console to enable true 4K gaming and high-fidelity virtual reality" and that it is "compatible with all Xbox One games and accessories".
