Xbox Scorpio price reveal, games news and release date details

World of Tanks is a popular title on Xbox One, PC and PS4 and will also be available to play on the Xbox Scorpio.

During a recent Q&A with fans, the development team behind the popular MMO revealed that the game will fully support the new console.

“We plan to fully support Scorpio and are already running on it at full 4K resolution and it looks fantastic,” the World of Tanks message reads.

It follows news that the Xbox Scorpio could have a huge problem when the holiday 2017 release date rolls around.

The Xbox Scorpio games list could be short of a blockbuster or two, following confirmation that no new triple-A Halo games will launch for Xbox One this year.

That's according to Halo franchise director Frank O'Connor, who told GamesTM that the team won't be releasing anything this holiday season.

"This holiday we don't have a huge triple-A individual game coming out, so this year can be a good year to get our heads down on the next big things."

There appears to be a shortage of blockbuster Xbox One games this year, although fans can expect announcements at E3.

Microsoft's E3 conference takes place on Sunday, June 11 at 10pm UK time.

Xbox Scorpio could cost potentially launch with a higher price tag in the UK, it has been suggested.

Microsoft is expected to reveal the Project Scorpio price point at this year's E3 gaming expo. In the meantime, experts and analysts have been predicting how much the new Xbox One console will cost in the UK.

Speaking to MCV, Garry Williams of Sold Out Sales and Marketing has speculated that the console could cost as much as £499 if Microsoft uses Brexit as an excuse to go higher in the UK.

"The specs suggest a £449 level – this is perceived as a higher tier machine," Williams said. "But with Brexit as an excuse to go higher, migrating console pricing towards the level of a higher end PC must be one goal, so maybe even £499."
