Here is Spencer’s full Project Scarlett tweet.

And it’s started….this week I brought my Project Scarlett console home and it’s become my primary console, playing my games, connecting to the community and yes, using my Elite Series 2 controller, having a blast. Great work by the team, 2020 is going to be an incredible year.

Spencer does not make any mention about Project Scarlett-specific games. During its announcement, Microsoft confirmed it will be backwards compatible. However, the Elite Series 2 is the $179.99 Xbox One wireless controller.

Project Scarlett currently has a 2020 launch window.
