New Xbox Code-named ‘Scorpio’, Will Have More Powerful GPU, 4K Support
This is the code name for a 2017 iteration of the Xbox One which will have a more powerful GPU that can support Oculus Rift (whom Microsoft is pursuing a partnership with). This year will see the release of a compact Xbox One that could arrive in the fourth quarter. Three individuals speaking anonymously noted that they weren’t really meant to reveal Microsoft’s plans at this stage. Imagine that. Another source noted that the compact Xbox One would have a 2 TB hard disk.
As for Scorpio, development sources were concerned that even with a GPU upgrade for 4K resolution support, there’s currently no plan for an I/O transfer speed upgrade, which could lead to games having longer loading times due to the larger 4K assets.
Take this all with a grain of salt as usual but it should be interesting to see what Microsoft announces at E3 2016.

Already spent near £300 on my Xbox One only two years ago, I don't think I'll be buying another one so soon.

This is going to be like the ps4.5 running 4k and everyone will be like "the graphics are lit." when their TV's/PC monitors don't support that lol.
Kinda excited though always want the newest tech.

Lost If they do come out with this I'm sure it would come at a hefty price.
I have to agree with you on this, you pay for what you get and something that will be able to run 4k will be a hefty price

Sanctorum The current Xbox One is barely capable of playing 1080p lmfao. "4k support", kk Microsoft.
Uhh do you hear yourself? Two different hardwares. Xbox scorpio and one. Obvious so obvious. Better gpu and 4k support.
Anyways, i better run darksouls 3 in 60fps instead of 30 on the one. Im excited for this

This is why upgrading a console is pointless basically a kick in the balls to someone who spent $499 on a day one Xbox One. Thank goodness I'm selling mine after the BO3 DLC season ends. The extra $250 can go into a new PC part upgrade.
