Xbox scorpio launches June 11

Xbox Scorpio or Project Scorpio is the new video game console that Microsoft is working on and that promises to be the queen of the market, at least in terms of power and ability to move games to 4K resolution. The new gem of the Redmond will be presented on June 11.

Xbox Scorpio: Ryzen and Vega on a high-end console

Xbox Scorpio will be the new Microsoft game console based on the AMD Ryzen and AMD Vega architectures, with this it will be able to offer a maximum power of 6 TFLOPs and will become the best-equipped console to move games to 4K resolution and virtual reality games. With these figures it will be 50% more powerful than the current PlayStation 4 Pro that uses a Polaris graphics processor and a Jaguar 8-core CPU.

Xbox Scorpio will be presented on June 11 at 2:00 p.m. PDT, which translates to 11:00 p.m. on the peninsula and 10:00 p.m. on the Canary Islands. It will be a very important day because it will give us an idea of ​​where the shots are going to go with the consoles from now on, at least in the case of Sony and Microsoft because Nintendo is going for a totally different way.

Everything suggests that we are going to move to a time when consoles are updated every three or four years instead of every seven or more years, as has been the case in recent generations. We will have small increases in power but in a much more constant way than in the past when the jumps were really big.

Scorpio is expected to be compatible with universal Windows 10 games and backward compatible with Xbox One and Xbox 360 games, two very positive steps in Microsoft's favor.
