Existing Xbox One owners wouldn’t have to worry about upgrading to the Project Scarlett console. Once this next-generation console launches, existing games, controllers, and accessories of the Xbox One will work with it. Phil Spencer, head of Xbox, said during Microsoft’s Inside Xbox E3 event, “We thought out our design for Project Scarlett, we definitely wanted to make sure that we were compatible across all the generations. Not just with the games, but the accessories. It’s really us respecting the purchases gamers have made on our platform.” And yes, it’ll also work with the upcoming Xbox Elite 2 controller. The Project Scarlett console is expected to arrive in the fall of 2020 alongside the new Halo Infinite game.
