The development codename for Microsoft’s Xbox One X console was Project Scorpio.
Microsoft first revealed Project Scorpio at E3 2016 as a future Xbox console designed to deliver substantially greater graphical performance. The company later announced the final name, Xbox One X, at E3 2017. The retail console launched worldwide on November 7, 2017, and was marketed as the most powerful console available at that time.
Project Scorpio is commonly confused with other Xbox development names. Project Natal was the original codename for the Kinect motion-sensing system, while Durango was associated with the original Xbox One. Scarlett referred to the next-generation Xbox hardware family that became Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S.
Xbox One X used a custom eight-core AMD processor, 12 GB of GDDR5 memory and a six-teraflop graphics processor. It was designed to improve the performance and image quality of compatible games, including support for 4K output and enhanced titles.
