Microsoft has already hinted that Project Scorpio will take center stage during their scheduled E3 2017 press conference. Other speculations claim that the console's official reveal will include previews of several games supported by the new platform. However, the expected product reveal might entirely focus on the hardware alone this time, as suspected by most gamers.
The most recent speculation about the Project Scorpio being a modular console was recently debunked by Microsoft, as reported by Gamenguide. Phil Spencer reportedly replied to a fan to confirm that the new console will be a plug-and-play model and not upgradable as rumored.
