Microsoft has officially launched pre-orders for its Xbox One X - formerly known as Project Scorpio - alongside a full list of all the games which have been 'Xbox One X Enhanced' to take advantage of the console's improved processing power compared with its predecessor.

Officially launched this weekend in pre-order form, those eager to upgrade from an original Xbox One or plunge into the Xbox One ecosystem for the first time can now put their money where their mouths are: Pre-orders have opened at various retailers for the Xbox One X Project Scorpio Edition, a limited-edition version of the console priced at £449.99 (inc. VAT). Microsoft has released released an unboxing video which brings to mind the original Xbox with its green-and-black colour scheme, though has not detailed just how limited said limited edition console actually is. The company has, howevever, confirmed that pre-order customers will receive their hardware on November 7th this year.

At the same time as the official pre-order launch, Microsoft has released a list of reasons to upgrade to the device in the form of all the games which have been 'Xbox One X Enhanced.'
