Hours before the Xbox at Gamescom 2017[1] event, the Xbox One X[2] Project Scorpio Edition and the Xbox One S Minecraft Limited Edition consoles have been leaked.
According to pictures posted[3] by industry tipster Wario64 (via a piece from Wired that was published early and still viewable here[4]) the Xbox One X Project Scorpio Edition sports the Project Scorpio name in neon green font that’s been an Xbox staple since the first console back in 2001. The controller has similar markings as does the box along with a giant ‘X’ symbol. There seems to be a vertical stand that comes along with it too. Like the standard Xbox One X console, it will cost $499 (around Rs. 32,000).
Also revealed is the Xbox One S Minecraft Limited Edition bundle. Its decked in the colours we’ve come to expect from the blocky terrain the game is known for and comes with a matching controller to boot.
Earlier these were alluded to by retailer listings but these images pretty much set up what to expect from Microsoft when the event begins.
