- Microsoft confirmed on Tuesday that Mixed Reality was coming to the "Xbox One family, including Project Scorpio"

https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperi ... ing-month/

"Our plan is to bring mixed reality content to the Xbox One family of devices, including Project Scorpio, in 2018."



- Phil said something along the lines of Scorpio's design being similar to XBO and XBO S, but with a more "premium" look.

I think that was just a slip up, X1 is not powerful enough for VR. Also I read that as windows 10 and Xbox Scorpio and next xbox after that not going backwards.

When describing scorpios look he didn't reference Anything other than branding. Why you were listening to an Xbox podcast is confusing enough as it is! :lol:

I how you lie and argue against me even when its something positive about Xbox. Microsoft are backing me up here, it's been CONFIRMED.

https://www.neowin.net/news/microsoft-t ... this-month

Update: Microsoft has confirmed to Neowin that both the Xbox One and the Xbox One S will receive mixed reality support.


1. If standard PS4 can run VR then so can standard XBO. Remember this is Mixed Reality too, no need to render entire scenes.

2. If XBO achieves lifetimes sales of 70m, and Scorpio accounts for only 10% of that, why bother trying to support VR for such a small potential userbase?

It's not a matter of trying to support VR, the VR headsets will be compatible, up to dev's to make games run on PC and Scorpio, it's not MSVR!

Microsoft will facilitate making VR games work on Windows 10 and Xbox, not a million miles away from what they are doing now.

Microsoft will facilitate making VR games work on Windows 10 and Xbox, not a million miles away from what they are doing now.


Windows Mixed Reality is a platform that will run on the following:

Windows 10 PCs
Xbox One
Xbox One S
Xbox One Scorpio

It's up to developers to support this, and on PC there will be minimum spec requirements. However Phil said "no one left behind", so I can't see Scorpio having any exclusives, regardless of whether they're VR games or not.

Quote me on this, if VR comes to Scorpio it won't be on X1, take that to the bank.

I'll be trading in my physical copy of Witcher 3 and buying the GOTY download, as a cheap way of getting the season pass content.

And Rise of the Tomb Raider Season Pass for £5 is a great bargain.

Woah, gooseberry fool. I just had a horrible moment. I noticed my "Ready to install" list suddenly had 240 games on it. Then I noticed my available storage had increased by about 2TB, as if one of my drives had been wiped. Urgent reboot, with much holding of breath. It's fine now.

I had that after a recent update, it was like it had half-reset. On the plus side it unhid all my games including a few i'd forgotten about.

That would make it worse as we would have to endure years of them arguing over who was better, who was bigger, which one lasted longer and which one produced more cum. Even when they had finished with those arguments we would still have years ahead of arguments over who produced more cum per thrust.

I don't know I like to think of it not working because Photek is Avid Merrion but rather than the craig in his cupboard it's Phil.
