Xbox One S Officially Confirmed With Trailer
Good news for Xbox fans who want a little more bang for their buck, as Microsoft officially unveil the rumored Xbox One S: a sleeker, thinner Xbox with a 2TB HDD.

Starting off their E3 conference strong, Microsoft have announced that the Xbox One will in fact be receiving an updated system, named the Xbox One S.

The new Xbox One S will be a slimmer version of the Xbox One console, stacking up at 40% the size of the current, bulky model. The special launch edition available in August will also have a 2 terabyte built-in hard drive, allowing for more space for games to install in a world that seems to have increasingly large titles releasing each year. Along with the Xbox One S’s new ‘robot white’ image, the console also has an integrated power supply, something that makes the lack of size even more impressive.

Now all players need to power the console is small one wire, directly into the plug socket, which makes the Xbox One S feel even smaller. The console will also allow for HDR gaming, allowing for sleeker, sharper imagery as shown in the trailer above. Besides this, the model carries the ability to play 4K Ultra HD Video and Blu-ray, ensuring the crispest images will be found on-screen. The front of the console has also seen some changes, now containing a forward facing USB port and an IR blaster.

The console is certainly better looking aesthetically than the previous Xbox, with the white casing likely to look less dusty over time than its black counterpart. The console is also able to be stored more easily on its side, allowing for more options when placing it in your home. Thankfully, the new Xbox One S will still be compatible with all the old Xbox One games and controllers, allowing those who make the switch to keep all their old hardware.

A new Xbox controller also saw an unveiling, with matching white plating. The wireless pad has textured back grips and an increased range, giving it better connectivity with the Xbox One S. Xbox Wireless and bluetooth will also be integrated into the controller. The Xbox One S console, with controller, will reportedly release this August for as little as $299.

That initial price range will score users the 500GB version of the console, with a 1TB version set at $349 and the special 2TB version at $399. These price ranges are still a fair way under the allegedly leaked 2TB Xbox price provided by a source at GameStop earlier this week.

Interestingly, a large industry leak provider just announced that there would be no further news about the rumored new Xbox model, though this has proven to be very much incorrect given that Microsoft have started off their presentation with it. Another recent rumor, claiming the new model would be 4 times more powerful than the current Xbox One console might still yet be correct, but not for the Xbox One S as the company confirm that Project Scorpio is on its way and will arrive next year.

Will you be upgrading to the new white Xbox One S? Leave us a comment and let us know.

Microsoft closes out its E3 2016 presentation with the official reveal of Project Scorpio, a new console arriving Holiday 2017 with some insane specs.
Despite rumors that Xbox’s high-powered console would only be teased at E3, Microsoft closed out its presentation with a full segment dedicated to the upgraded Xbox One. Microsoft is ready to start taking ‘Gaming Beyond Generations’ with the reveal of Project Scorpio.

It turns out that Project Scorpio is more than just an upgrade to the Xbox One. The high-powered console supports 4k and VR, as expected, but really sounds like what would be a next-generation console. The major difference is that it will still support all Xbox One accessories and games. And vice versa.

Here’s everything we know so far:

4k gaming and high fidelity VR

6 teraflops

Most power GPU in a console ever

Highest res, best framerate

True 4k resolution

Support for Fallout 4 on VR

8 CPU cores

320 GB per second of memory bandwidth

Project Scorpio is arriving Holiday 2017, which means that, despite Microsoft’s Gaming Beyond Generations tagline, the next generation of console gaming is arriving far sooner than anyone would have expected. Skeptics will likely call this Microsoft throwing in the towel on the current generation of gaming after falling behind Sony in sales, but the continued support and cross-play with the Xbox One suggests otherwise.

The reveal is coming much earlier than a new console usually would be announced (there’s not even an image to see yet), but Xbox’s Phil Spencer explains the move…

“It’s crazy to announce something this early… But when I put myself in the shoes of our customer, I want to be able to make a choice on what console I want to buy with as much information as possible. We want to give you the information to make that decision. We also want to go talk to the developers that are out there today, that are building games for next holiday, and say here’s what you’re going to have at your disposal on the console side.”
One potential downside to all of this compatibility is that it sounds like developers won’t be able to make games that are Scorpio exclusive. From what the company explained today, every game will need to have a version that is capable of running on the Scorpio and on the Xbox One or Xbox One S.

Unfortunately, the presentation did not offer an actual look at the hardware. It will be very interesting to see how the box looks and if it appears like an updated Xbox One or if it has a style of its own. There was also no mention of a price point. If the console comes equipped with a VR headset, then this thing isn’t going to be cheap.

What did you think of the Project Scorpio reveal? Let us know in the comments.

Project Scorpio has a release window of Holiday 2017.

As powerful as the Scorpio is i wouldn't bother with X1S.

This is a microsoft mess.
If i was still interested in microsoft & bought an X1 i'd return it totally skip the X1S & wait for Scorpio.
It's like buying the 1st two versions are pointless.
