E3 2017 is underway and one of the key events this year is Microsoft’s Xbox briefing, at which we’re expected to learn much more about Project Scorpio, the PS4 Pro rival which the company have stated will host “high fidelity” VR. Watch the livestream right here

Despite Microsoft already dampening VR enthusiasts’ expectations for this year’s Xbox E3 event (no VR specifics I’m afraid folks), this event will focus on Microsoft’s great hope for drawing level or overtaking Sony’s technical superiority in the console space.

This means we’ll finally get to see what the mid-generation refresh Xbox powerhouse known as Project Scorpio is capable of, even if virtual reality demos may be absent. Catch the livestream for the show below. The event is due to kick off at 2PM PST, 10PM GMT. Feel free to comment below, it should be an interesting show.

Based in the UK, Paul has been immersed in interactive entertainment for the best part of 27 years and has followed advances in gaming with a passionate fervour. His obsession with graphical fidelity over the years has had him branded a ‘graphics whore’ (which he views as the highest compliment) more than once and he holds a particular candle for the dream of the ultimate immersive gaming experience. Having followed and been disappointed by the original VR explosion of the 90s, he then founded RiftVR.com to follow the new and exciting prospect of the rebirth of VR in products like the Oculus Rift. Paul joined forces with Ben to help build the new Road to VR in preparation for what he sees as VR’s coming of age over the next few years.
