Xbox Project Scarlett: Microsoft Reveals Next Gen Console at E3 2019

---

Microsoft has revealed its new Xbox, codenamed Project Scarlett, at its E3 2019 press conference.

Project Scarlett features a new processor built on AMD's Navi GPU and Ryzen CPU architecture. Specifics had been scarce, but Microsoft has given us some concrete details to focus on, including its release window, a major launch title and more. The console features a huge array of improved specs that will allow games to do away with loading times as well as giving vast performance leaps, Microsoft claimed. Microsoft also said that Project Scarlett will deliver ray tracing, making lighting and environments appear more real than ever. The new console – which did not get a name beyond the already reported codename – will have a processor that is four times as powerful as the Xbox One X, Microsoft said. And the console will be able to deliver framerates of up to 120 FPS and resolutions up to 8K with support for variable refresh rates. If everything Microsoft promised in the reveal bears out, it looks like it's going to be an absolute powerhouse.
