<p><strong>A new <a href="http://ift.tt/2pJvAYc" target="_blank">Xbox Scorpio</a> game has been confirmed for the console that will run in native 4K display.</strong></p>
<p>World of Tanks is a popular title on Xbox One, PC and PS4 and will also be available to play on the Xbox Scorpio.</p>
<p>During a recent Q&amp;A with fans, the development team behind the popular MMO revealed that the game will fully support the new console.</p>
<p>“We plan to fully support Scorpio and are already running on it at full 4K resolution and it looks fantastic,” the World of Tanks message reads.</p>
<p>It follows news that the Xbox Scorpio could have a huge problem when the holiday 2017 release date rolls around.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://ift.tt/2pg5daT" target="_blank">Xbox Scorpio</a> games list could be short of a blockbuster or two, following confirmation that no new triple-A Halo games will launch for Xbox One this year.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s according to Halo franchise director Frank O&#8217;Connor, who told <a href="http://ift.tt/2oMfqJq" target="_blank">GamesTM</a> that the team won&#8217;t be releasing anything this holiday season.</p>
<p>&#8220;This holiday we don&#8217;t have a huge triple-A individual game coming out, so this year can be a good year to get our heads down on the next big things.&#8221;</p>

<p>There appears to be a shortage of blockbuster Xbox One games this year, although fans can expect announcements at E3.</p>
<p>Microsoft&#8217;s E3 conference takes place on Sunday, June 11 at 10pm UK time.</p>
<p><strong>Xbox Scorpio could cost potentially launch with a higher price tag in the UK, it has been suggested.</strong></p>
<p>Microsoft is expected to reveal the Project Scorpio price point at this year&#8217;s E3 gaming expo. In the meantime, experts and analysts have been predicting how much the new Xbox One console will cost in the UK.</p>
<p>Speaking to <a href="http://ift.tt/2ol3yli" target="_blank">MCV</a>, Garry Williams of Sold Out Sales and Marketing has speculated that the console could cost as much as £499 if Microsoft uses Brexit as an excuse to go higher in the UK.</p>
<p>&#8220;The specs suggest a £449 level – this is perceived as a higher tier machine,&#8221; Williams said. &#8220;But with Brexit as an excuse to go higher, migrating console pricing towards the level of a higher end PC must be one goal, so maybe even £499.&#8221;</p>

<p>Actionacy’s games marketing consultant Christian-Peter Heimbach believes that the Xbox Scorpio will be bundled with Forza, and that fans will pay more for a premium product.</p>
<p>&#8220;I think the console will be €499 (£418) with a game – probably the new Forza,&#8221; Heimbach said. &#8220;It is a perfect price.</p>
<p>&#8220;The console is focused on a hardcore market and they are willing to spend more as long as it’s a quality product.</p>
<p>&#8220;The fact that the Elite controller sold very well, at €149 (£120) shows that people are willing to buy products at a premium price.&#8221;</p>
<p>Spanish retailer XtraLife (via DesiXBL) is currently advertising the upcoming Xbox Scorpio console with a €399 price tag. That&#8217;s roughly £335 in the UK, although it&#8217;s more likely to cost £399 if the advert is accurate.</p>
<p>Microsoft previously described it as a premium console and said that it would cost more than the Xbox One S.</p>
