Project Scorpio release date has also to be confirmed, and we will surely learn more about it next week at the E3. Last week, it's been confirmed that all Scorpio launch titles will require certification against the October 2017 XDK, so there's no way the console will be released before then, as rumors stated in the past few days.

Project Scorpio launches this year in all regions. More on the upcoming console will be coming at E3 in a few weeks so stay tuned for all the latest news on the powerful new console from Microsoft.
