Following some inquiries on Twitter, Jez Corden has confirmed that he has more to share in the next week. He was asked, since Halo 5 and Witcher 3 support Xbox’s dynamic scaling, whether these games would be able to leverage Project Scorpio’s hardware to output at full 4K. His tweet is embedded below.

Auspicious words indeed. Corden notes, in the ensuing conversation, that Thursday of next week will hold some sort of communication regarding Project Scorpio, and it won’t be from him.
Original story:
Thanks to Windows Central’s Jez Corden, we have a list of a few games that will support and fully leverage Project Scorpio’s more powerful hardware once the console launches later this year. Corden reports that the list, which was unconfirmed until recently, comes from marketing material naming six games that Microsoft believes will exemplify Project Scorpio’s power and dominance in the console market.
Similar to Microsoft using Forza Motorsport 6 Apex to showcase the Universal Windows Platform’s performance and viability for high-fidelity games, Microsoft will be launching the next Forza Motorsport title to take full advantage of Scorpio’s beefier internals. Along with that obvious first-party inclusion, the list reportedly includes typical games like “‘Call of Duty’, FIFA, and Madden” along with two less obvious inclusions: Star Wars Battlefront II and Red Dead Redemption 2.
Corden also writes, saying that games that currently utilize dynamic scaling, which allows games to maintain framerate by dynamically decreasing output resolution during intense visual scenes, will be able to “scale all the way up to 4K on Project Scorpio.” And while 4K may be Project Scorpio’s most-used buzz word, the console’s ability to supersample the natively processed 4K visuals to 1080p for HD TV owners.
We, like Corden, agree that the console’s marketability lies in that it can work fine with current 1080p TVs as well as comfortably scale to fit the latest 4K TVs. Those launch-supported titles will also likely aid the console on launch, and if we hear more names we’ll keep you updated. Until then, stay tuned to Rectify Gaming for the latest.
