Senior Product Marketing Manager at Xbox, Jordan Silverthorne, originally posted the picture of the badge on Twitter. The full Microsoft employee badge is not displayed, so it is hard to guess what else is included on the Microsoft employee-exclusive badge. Silvertone posted a clearer picture of the Project Scorpio Xbox Live emblem in a separate Tweet.

Microsoft Stores around the world received other goodies, including a special bag of swag, and other special Xbox events celebrating the Xbox One X launch. Receiving this Project Scorpio Xbox Live badge would have been a great gift for gamers that got an Xbox One X on launch day. Microsoft was looking to make the Xbox One X launch a big event and Microsoft has certainly delivered.
