It’s been dubbed “Project Scorpio” but now it gets an official debut. Microsoft unveiled at E3 its new Xbox One X, the company’s smallest Xbox to date. While it features looks similar to the Xbox One S, it packs in a lot of power in its smaller package. It comes with 6 teraflops of graphical power (which is more than the PS4 Pro’s 4.2 teraflops), a custom GPU engine that runs at 1172MHz (which is a big jump over the Xbox One’s 853MHz and the Sony’s 911MHz on the PS4 Pro), 1TB of storage, and it’ll ship with an Ultra HD Blu-ray drive for 4K entertainment. It also has liquid-cooled vapor-chamber cooling system, which you usually see on high-end PC gaming cards.

It’ll work with all existing Xbox One accessories and will be backwards compatible with Xbox 360 and Xbox One titles. Existing titles are said to get a noticeable performance boost on the Xbox One. Microsoft will use “super sampling” on this console to make the new games look more amazing on 1080p TVs. Microsoft says there will be 22 “console launch exclusives” coming to the Xbox One X, including Forza Motorsport 7 and Crackdown 3. It’ll debut worldwide on November 7th and will cost CA$599.
