E3 is creeping up, and many people are wondering what Microsoft would bring to the table. The rumor mill is heating up in the Microsoft camp, so might finally have caught a clue. According to our snitch, Microsoft will be release two new Xbox One models by 2017.

Our snitch has three sources that told them Microsoft aims to ship out a slimmer Xbox One by the end of this year. It’s also rumored to contain a two terabyte hard drive. But here’s where things start to get juicy. Microsoft is also rumored to bring out an upgraded Xbox One in 2017.

It’s alleged code name is “Scorpio” and it will contain an improved GPU capable of handling 4K resolution. No word on if the CPU will be upgraded. If it’s not, then, that would be beyond half ass. It’d increase loading times on games with larger resolutions. What makes this really interesting is it’s also rumored that Microsoft wants to get in bed with Oculus Rift. They’re currently seeking out a long-term partnership with them.

This makes sense. My friend and I always joke about the Xbox One and Oculus Rift. We all knew I’d eventually come to Xbox One, but we couldn’t figure out how it would run the VR headset. You need a beefy PC to run Oculus, so we knew the struggle 720p box couldn’t run it. It looks like Microsoft knows too and that’s why upgraded hardware could be on the way.

Shit is getting crazy!
