<p><a href="http://ift.tt/2jGc4rQ" target="_blank" rel="tag">Xbox One Scorpio</a> fans would pay a <a href="http://ift.tt/2oYcNXS" target="_blank" rel="tag">high price</a> for this useful new feature.</p>
<p>Custom Project Scorpio consoles are currently in the hands of developers, complete with an OLED display that measures frame rates in real-time.</p>
<p>This lets developers see how smoothly their games are running on the new hardware.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s highly unlikely this tool will make it to the final version of the new Xbox One, although fans would no doubt love to know how their hardware is performing.</p>
<p>The dev kits also provide fans with an idea about what the final hardware might look like.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s good news for fans of the Xbox One S, as the new console looks remarkably like last year&#8217;s sleek hardware refresh.</p>
<p>Microsoft is expected to unveil the Xbox Scorpio in full at the E3 gaming expo, where the price and release date are likely to be announced.</p>
<p>Microsoft&#8217;s E3 conference takes place on Sunday, June 11 at 10pm UK time.</p>

<p>Microsoft also needs to unveil some blockbuster new games, or the Xbox Scorpio could have a huge problem when the holiday 2017 release date rolls around.</p>
<p>It was recently confirmed 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" rel="nofollow">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.</p>

<p>It was also suggested that the Xbox Scorpio could launch with a higher price in the UK.</p>
<p>Speaking to <a href="http://ift.tt/2ol3yli" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">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>
