Microsoft is releasing a limited-edition Xbox One X gaming console and limited editions of the Xbox One S bundles for fans of Middle-earth: Shadow of War. It has also started pre-orders for these two new editions.
The company announced that it will produce a limited number of the Xbox One X Project Scorpio Edition. Project Scorpio was the original code name for the console, which features 4K visuals, Xbox One compatibility, and 6 teraflops of computing power. The Project Scorpio edition includes the words “Project Scorpio” on the controller’s face and on the front of the console. It will sport the same black shading as the original Xbox One X, but Microsoft said that it also features a “sophisticated and dynamic graphic pattern across the exterior.”
Unlike the original Xbox One X, the Project Scorpio edition will come with a vertical stand so that you can prop it up on its side. The special edition will cost $500 (the same price as the Xbox One X), but its limited production makes it likely to sell out in a matter of minutes.
Microsoft is also releasing a Middle-Earth: Shadow of War bundle for the Xbox One S. The bundle will come with the new Warner Bros. game and will be available in October. Both models arrive on October 10th, when they'll be available in nearly every market at $279 for a 500GB bundle and $349 for the 1TB system.
