Microsoft has released a video displaying the features included in their Scorpio Development Kits which they started shipping last month to get the jump on E3.
In the video, Kevin Gammill from the Xbox engineering team takes us through the various functionalities included in the kit to assist developers in making new games.
Gammill explains that the kit has been built after collecting feedback from Xbox development partners to try to meet the needs of making games for the newer more powerful console.
Due to this, the Scorpio Dev Kit sports higher specs than what the consumer version will have, featuring 4 more control units in the CPU, 12gb more ram, and an additional 1tb SSD. These enhancements will allow developers to make games faster and then tune them down to the console's abilities.
The Development Kit also has exterior changes including a front display, programmable buttons, a debugging network port, stackable design and an included faster transfer device. All of these changes are designed to make functionality easier for developers to optimise their time.
Being able to display key information on the front screen and move game builds from PC to the Xbox Scorpio much faster are all features Microsoft are hoping will make for great games coming to Project Scorpio.
With E3 right around the corner, we are already pretty excited to see what Project Scorpio has in store.
Hope Corrigan is a freelance news writer for IGN who would like a dev kit, please. You can find her on the internet.
