While we’ll have to wait for Microsoft to officially announce the special edition, it seems that the Project Scorpio-branded version will pay homage to the Xbox One X’s original code name by branding the Scorpio logo on the front of the controller and console. The hardware in the Project Scorpio Edition also seems to be getting a custom paint job: the controller with a bombed-out, all-black color scheme, and the console with a subtle stippled texture that the standard version seems to lack.

First spotted in a German store, the sales page at said store (MediaMarkt) seems to describe the Project Scorpio Edition as a limited time offering “for the biggest fans.”  This move by Microsoft is rather reminiscent of the original Xbox One launch, which offered a similarly limited “Day One” edition of the console that also featured a unique controller. The Xbox One X goes on sale this November at a retail price of $500
