Just like the Xbox One before it, Microsoft looks to be readying a special version of its next-gen gaming machine.
Microsoft might be readying a special Xbox One X Project Scorpio Edition, if leaks on two German retail websites are to be believed.
The listings, which appear to have been taken down, seemingly reveal a unique version of the 4K-capable console is on the way. Project Scorpio, you may remember, was the codename of the Xbox One X before it was called that, so this new version appears to be a nod to those origins.
XboxDynasty.de, which made today’s discovery, gathered up some photos of the console from one retail site, which you can see below.
The Xbox One X Project Scorpio Edition looks to feature a blacked-out controller with ‘Project Scorpio’ running down the middle in an electric green font. The console itself is tattooed with the same marking, and it appears to have a textured, mesh-y finish that’s unlike the matte plastic casing of the standard Xbox One X.
This special Xbox One X is likely a limited-run console similar to the Day One Edition that Microsoft released for the Xbox One .
The Day One Edition featured flashy accents that set it apart from the regular Xbox One, including “Day One 2013” stamped on the controller. Microsoft also released a Day One achievement for those who purchased the console.
Microsoft is gearing up for a big weekend, where it will reveal Xbox One X pre-orders info during its Gamescom 2017 press event, going down this Sunday, August 20, at 9pm CEST / 8pm GMT / 3pm ET / 12pm PT.
It’s rumored pre-orders will open following the event. If Microsoft announces the Project Scorpio Edition during Gamescom, there’s a high chance you can pre-order one for yourself come Sunday, too.
