Project scorpio will be able to run universal games from windows 10 to 4k

Microsoft wants its Project Scorpio to be something very big, the new Redmond console promises to offer a high level of performance sufficient to run games at native 4K resolution and a great virtual reality experience. If we already knew that it would be backward compatible with Xbox 360, now it comes to light that the new console will be able to run the games scheduled for the universal store of Windows 10.

Project Scorpio will be compatible with Windows 10 games

The latest data indicates that Project Scorpio would be compatible with games run under the Windows Universal Platform (UWP), this means that at the time of the launch of the new console, it would already have access to the entire catalog of games available on the UWP. Let's remember that there are great gems like Gears of War 4 hidden in it . This involves a lot of work for developers since they practically only have to program the game once and with slight modifications it is already compatible with Project Scorpio and Windows 10 using the same executable, a breakthrough in the convergence that Microsoft seeks to make its Windows 10 a universal system for all platforms.

Of course behind it is the attempt by Microsoft to give a big boost to its Windows Store, with this it would have the intention of creating a Steam that is already installed as standard in Windows and perhaps eventually it will steal prominence from the store from Valve, something that seems like a pharaonic challenge but that only time will tell the answer.

Project Scorpio promises to be a truly powerful new shell with a GPU capable of 6 TFLOPs of performance and a CPU expected to consist of no less than eight high-performance AMD Zen cores, a tremendous advance over the current Xbox One APU..
