Originally announced during last year’s gaming event, Microsoft has finally revealed the name of Project Scorpio. Meet the new Xbox One X.

Starting today, ahead of its E3 briefing, Microsoft is cutting the recommended retail price of select Xbox One S bundles by $50.

The 2017 season is quickly establishing a reputation for breaking prior track records. This weekend proved no different, following an exciting qualifying session at Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve in Canada.

It’s that time again, we’re coming up on the biggest gaming event of the year. Of course we’re referring to E3. Whether it be a breadth of games or new hardware reveals, we’re ready for it all. With news expected from every possible direction, next week will be chaotic — we can’t wait!

Thrustmaster has revealed the name of its upcoming wheel ahead of E3 and it goes by the name of “T-GT”. Originally teased on the Thrustmaster Facebook page, the name of the new peripheral disproves prior listings of the “T700”.

With only a few days remaining until E3, Microsoft has revealed Project Scorpio will offer additional memory to game developers. Xbox chief Mike Ybarra took to Twitter, announcing that developers can access an additional 1GB of RAM for games. For those keeping count, that bumps the total up to 9GB.

You know the story by now: last month the Ready To Race car pack made its way to Assetto Corsa. Included were 10 brand-new vehicles ranging from a “budget” supercar to two hardcore Le Mans prototypes. Throughout the week we’ve put seven of the ten vehicles through their paces. At last, it’s time to bring the series to a close with the final three — the extreme three.

Earlier this week we celebrated Assetto Corsa’s Ready To Race car pack by breaking in four of the included cars. We’re picking up where we left off with three new vehicles, all with something to prove. However, it’s worth acknowledging that the liveries featured are not standard fare with the car pack.

This past weekend the team behind iRacing confirmed two new additions were on the way to the acclaimed PC sim. Arriving today, players will have the opportunity to get personal with the Ford GT LM and Ferrari 488.

Early last month Kunos released the Ready To Race car pack for Assetto Corsa. The pack brings 10 all-new vehicles to the game, with PC players being the first to sample the new content.

Last month Codemasters officially announced F1 2017. The major takeaway for this year’s game is classic F1 machines will be returning to the franchise after a four year hiatus.

Polyphony Digital has fired the starter’s pistol for the latest Seasonal Events for Gran Turismo 6.

Earlier this month many of the rumors surrounding Project Scorpio were finally laid to rest, care of Digital Foundry, who revealed the first in-depth look at the hardware powering the next Xbox.

Leading up to this year’s E3 where Project Scorpio is expected to be revealed in full, Microsoft has partnered with Gamasutra to offer an in-depth look at the ways developers can take advantage of the Scorpio XDK to build their games.

Last week Digital Foundry paid a visit to the Microsoft campus in Redmond, Washington for the first technical overview of the hardware powering the next Xbox, Project Scorpio. While the specs and underlying technology are truly impressive, a real-time demo would only validate the new machine even further. This is where Turn 10’s ForzaTech demo plays a key role.

It’s official: Porsche has returned to the Forza series, and unlike before there are no crippling agreements in play. Turn 10 and Porsche have announced an “in-depth six-year partnership” that will include the Forza Motorsport and Forza Horizon series of games moving forward.

I say this all too often but what a week this has been. After months of speculation and rumors thanks to no small part of Microsoft keeping their lips sealed on the matter, the hardware that will be powering the next Xbox, otherwise currently known as Project Scorpio, has finally been discussed at-length and I have to say that it is truly an impressive feat.

Fans tuning into the qualifying for the second round of the 2017 Formula One season may have had a sense of deja vu earlier today, as a familiar pecking order began to shake out at China’s Shanghai International Circuit.

Project Scorpio has been the topic of several discussions lately, and following the impressive technical overview courtesy of Digital Foundry those discussions are likely to continue and will lead into this year’s E3 where the next Xbox will hopefully be fully unveiled — name and all.

Polyphony have pulled the trigger on the latest Seasonal Events for Gran Turismo 6. This week’s events take you to three well-paced technical circuits where attack speeds are the key to victory. Three challenge levels cover this week’s events, giving you a choice of capable sporting metal.
