Project Scorpio Will Play Some Games In Native 4K, Xbox Boss Confirms

Following a report that emerged this week that shed new light on Project Scorpio RAM details, there has apparently been some confusion as to whether or not the console will deliver native 4K for some games. Xbox boss Phil Spencer has now cleared up the confusion with a simple response.

Asked by someone on Twitter if Scorpio will run games in native 4K, he replied, "Yes."


In another tweet about Scorpio and 4K, Spencer said, "Honest my focus is just on getting games ready to show and play. That will be the explanation. I'm confident in the results."

Microsoft has said that all of its first-party games will run at a native 4K. "Any games we're making that we're launching in the Scorpio time frame, we're making sure they can natively render at 4K," Microsoft Studios GM Shannon Loftis said in September.

Last year, Xbox marketing boss Aaron Greenberg said Scorpio will offer graphical fidelity on a level "never seen before" on console.

"It will bring these really true 4K, really incredible visual games that we've never seen before on the console," he said at the time. "People who have spent thousands of dollars on a high-end PC are getting that experience. How do we bring that to scale in a console in your living room? That's a big part of what Project Scorpio is about."

In other Scorpio news, a developer who worked on Ori and the Blind Forest recently said Scorpio is a "full-blown next-gen machine," while PlayStation 4 Pro is a "half-assed upgrade."

Win the current race only to release a slight up grade for the same price because you know your fan base will buy anything you put in front of them.
PS4 Pro is 2x more powerful than PS4. Has double the storage. Better wifi. And plays some games in native 4K as well. All for only 100 bucks more than the base console.

Twice as powerful but often times runs games worse :snoop: Why don't you stop regurgitating bullshyt and deal with the reality that the pspro is nothing more than an FX chip type upgrade. The Xbox one s upscales to 4k, so it's not impressive the pspro can as well. The checkerboard 4k is a negative because it's already outdated technology. That will be clear in about two years but don't worry about it, Sony will have something else to sell you by then :handshake:

It's still a "slight upgrade" giving me two cookies instead of one sounds nice but its not some huge jump.


Also it's only 100 bucks more if you don't own a ps4 other wise it's 400 bucks more for "double the graphical power" and better wifi.

PS4 Slim =$299 or you can spend $399 if you don't have a system making it only $100 more than the ps4 pro

PS4 Pro=$399 or you can keep what you have and play the same games as everyone else or you can buy a whole other system for another $399 making it 400 buck more than what you already have.

The point is to replace the original one. if you keep it for w/e reasons, that's a matter of expense. It wouldn't make sense to go "The Xbox 1 S cost $299 more than the PS4" because you already own one. that has no bearing on it.
