And surprisingly Microsoft has partnered with the excellent Digital Foundry, which is where the reveal is expected to happen at around about 11pm AEST. As a credible site that has been an invaluable source in providing technical specifications and performance analysis across all major gaming platforms, it's expected that the Xbox Scorpio reveal will be of the specifications variety, and detail how the console will hit its planned 4K output for games.

Now, in terms of the console's actual name and look we probably won't get those details until on or before Microsoft's E3 press conference. In the meantime though, hardware specs and even a video of something like Forza running in 4K, would definitely suffice. It could even be something as seemingly benign as confirmation on what GPU will be powering the Scorpio.

To clear up the speculation: @digitalfoundry will have an exclusive Xbox Scorpio reveal on @eurogamer this Thursday at 2pm UK / 6am Pacific. pic.twitter.com/bacxOGerjJ

Well, benign to everyone other than Digital Foundry's target audience.
