Xbox One already has games that are 1080P/60fps such as Forza 6, but I get what you mean if some games that would have normally Been 900P native for instance, if they could come out at 1080P native instead . Answer is no, below is gamespot article that should help:

Xbox One S's Extra Power Does Not Improve Game Performance, Microsoft Says

The extra GPU and CPU in the Xbox One S is for developers to implement HDR support in games.

Last updated by Mat Paget on June 15, 2016

GameSpot

Microsoft has given GameSpot an official statement, saying the Xbox One S's extra GPU and CPU is not there to improve performance. Instead, it's so developers can make use of the slimmer system's HDR support.

"We have the same SOC architecture as Xbox One today," Microsot said. "For games that want to take advantage of HDR, we gave developers access to a small amount of additional processing power."

HDR stands for high dynamic range. HDR televisions have an expanded color and contrast range, which makes everything brighter and more vibrant. One of the first Xbox One games to support this technology is Gears of War 4, which releases on October 11.

Polygon previously talked to Gears of War 4 head Rod Fergusson, who said the Xbox One S would improve its games' frame rates and resolutions.

The Xbox One S was announced at Microsoft's E3 press conference, and it also supports 4K video. It costs $300 for 500 GB, $350 for 1 TB, and $400 for 2 TB. It releases this August.

A new, more powerful Xbox One dubbed Project Scorpio was also announced. It supports 4K Gaming on more advanced hardware, but Microsoft says all Xbox One games will work on all Xbox One consoles.

@wwe_xbox360: No, it's not going to do what you asked. It's still an Xbone. Graphically within games, the Xbone S is going to have the exact same resolution as the Xbone.

The Xbone S is just able to upscale video to 4K (Blu-Rays, streaming, etc), and some other tweaks, but it's a $299 Xbone S.

Don't expect the hardware to change to PS4 or beyond level, if that's what you want the Xbone Scorpio is on the way.

The Xbone Scorpio is an Xbone.5 designed for 4K. That said, Phil did say if you aren't going to buy a 4K TV, then don't worry about the Scorpio, it's for 4K TV users.

The Xbone S (slim)? It actually is not the the equivalent of rumored PS4 NEO.

Hardware wise, the Xbone S is not even the equivalent of the current PS4.

It's a slim model Xbone with some minor enhancements set for release for $299 this holiday season.

I covered that as I already knew about HDR when I said "some other tweaks" and the HDR inclusion is one of them.

It's still an Xbone though that supports Xbone resolutions.

So from what I understand,Xbox Scorpio is only going to be used/good for 4K TV's.

I have a "55"Samsung TV with full 1080 HD,and there is no use buying the XS.

If so,that's a bunch of bs.What the hell was MS thinking when they came up with this?

I also have read someplace that the XS won't have any exclusives??Is this true??

@brimmul777: Yes, it's true the Xbone Scorpio won't have exclusives. It's going to be an Xbone primarily designed for 4K TV owners due Holiday 2017.

There's been a fair bit of confusion regarding whether or not the Xbox One Scorpio, Microsoft's major spec bump for the Xbox One that is launching late next year, will get any exclusive games or not. Some people within Microsoft are ruling out the possibility, while others say that the choice will be left to developers.

However, in an interview, Xbox head Phil Spencer has set the record straight once and for all-

there will be no Xbox One Scorpio exclusives.

"For you and I, we usually think about generations in terms of what games will it play?" Spencer told Eurogamer. "This thing will play Ryse: Son of Rome, a launch game for your Xbox One. And we'll have launch Scorpio games as well that are playable on an Xbox One, Xbox One S and Scorpio and look great on all three of them," he concluded, adding very definitively and explicitly that the Xbox One Scorpio will not have any exclusives whatsoever. "There won't be Scorpio exclusive console games. Absolutely not.

"When you're buying a console game from us, you know that console game will run on your original Xbox. No-one gets left behind. We said that on stage. Your Xbox One S and Scorpio. That's an important design point for us. They're all part of the same family. And we want to make sure just like when you're buying your music today, you don't worry about upgrading to a new phone that somehow won't play your old songs or your new songs. We think about your Xbox One collection of games that will move with you between those different consoles," Spencer explained.

So if you own an Xbox One already, and don't feel like buying another one- don't.

@SoAmazingBaby:

Correct. It's simply an Xbone 4K and it will NOT have it's own library.
