Microsoft Project Scorpio is set to compete directly with the Sony PlayStation 4 Pro with 4K support. Apparently, the giant tech company has made bold claims that the Microsoft Project Scorpio would be hailed as the "First and The Only True 4k Console". In the meantime, the Microsoft Project Scorpio already has a page on the Microsoft Store.
Scorpio, To Go On Same Route With PS4 Pro
Several debates over how Microsoft aims to go onboard with their tagline have surfaced on the web for almost a year now. Take note that the PS4 Pro also does 4k. However, it is expected that the Microsoft Project Scorpio will be able to run games at 4k resolution natively.
There are current arguments on the method used on the PlayStation 4 Pro on checkerboard rendering. It is believed that Sony's method equates to upscaling. However, others disagree. Nevertheless, previous reports about the Microsoft Project Scorpio reveal that checkerboard rendering may be the go-to method for the Microsoft Project Scorpio as well, Game On Daily reported.
As of this writing, several titles have already announced plans for optimization for the improvements made by the Microsoft Project Scorpio. The Xbox Head of Operations Dave McCarthy also revealed that Microsoft is looking to give developers a seamless experience to work easily across multi-platforms such as the Xbox One, Microsoft Project Scorpio and Windows 10. Furthermore, Microsoft Project Scorpio is set to wipe out the console upgrade cycle since Xbox Scorpio games are expected to work across several platforms.
