Da Middle-earth: Shadow of War blev afsløret for lidt tid siden, så blev det ikke bare afsløret til PlayStation 4, PlayStation 4 Pro, Xbox One og PC, men også specifikt til den kommende Microsoft-konsol, Scorpio.
Dette er derfor blandt de allerførste titler der understøtter den ye konsol, og ifølge udvikleren Monolith er konsollen alt hvad de havde håbet på. I et nyligt interview med GamesRadar siger Monolith-chefen Kevin Stephens følgende om Scorpio-versionen:
"We've found nothing false about their claims about the hardware. As far as we can tell, it will be the most powerful console ever created when it launches - unless somebody has an announcement I don't know about."
Derudover har han kommenteret lidt på den samlede vision for maskinen:
"I can't speak for Microsoft, but from our point of view they seem very committed to, you know, if you buy an Xbox One, whether it's a One, or an S, or a Scorpio you're going to buy a game and [be able to] play it on any of them. That seems very consistent with our experience of working on those platforms."
