The first Forza Horizon game will soon be playable on the Xbox One, via the console’s Backwards Compatability programme.

Verdun – the World War I multiplayer shooter – has delayed on Xbox One, with no new release date set.

Spencer’s words came in response to a fan who asked on Twitter if there was a possibility that the console had a Halo title release. As far as reviews go, “Call of Duty 2” on Xbox One has seen a massive improvement in graphics, making it worth another run on the current-gen console once more. This means Xbox games have been spread to more devices.

Even going on the few details we have available, Project Scorpio definitely has the major edge in graphical horsepower: To judge by Microsoft’s specs, it’s six times as powerful as the original Xbox One.

Earlier this month, Xbox boss Phil Spencer said the Scorpio reveal did not “overshadow” Xbox One S. Microsoft’s Xbox design lab is a first of its kind.

Currently, no games specifically support HDR, but our selection of test Blu-ray discs – the Lego Movie, and Batman vs Superman – both looked fabulous, with astonishing depth of colour and peak brightness. Releasing Xbox games to Windows PC is in fact not the end of Xbox platform, but the start point for more people to play Xbox games and more Xbox gaming ways. To do so, simply slide the Xbox One S vertical stand onto the bottom of the console, and you’re able to stand it up. The One S power supply has moved inside its bright white case, rather than residing outside the console in a massive power brick.

Microsoft has commented that they are able to add 4K pass-through functionality to the Xbox One S via a firmware update, but now, do not plan to do so until 4K broadcasts become more widespread and the demand for this feature grows.

“We saw tons of momentum coming out of E3”, Greenberg said. Of course, this slight jump in performance should be expected, as the new Xbox One S has an overclocked GPU speed that jumps from 853 MHz to 914 MHz, and higher ESRAM bandwidth that adds an extra 15 GB/s. It’s gamer-focused, compact and stylish, and doesn’t force you to buy Kinect.
