‘Halo Infinite’ rumors: Is it possible for the title to arrive in other consoles?

“Halo Infinite” is the highly anticipated sequel to “Halo 5: Guardians” released five years ago. Unfortunately, not all console players will be able to enjoy the game upon its release as it will only be available on Xbox One and Xbox Series X.

Could “Halo Infinite” arrive in other consoles?

“The business is selling software and services,” Spencer explained. “The business is not how many consoles you sell. The consoles are not where the profit on this side of the business is made, which is where the whole: ‘Who’s selling more consoles’ at any one time as the kind of root good of who is doing well in the business is just not true.”

So that means that there is still a chance for “Halo: Infinite” to arrive in PlayStation or Nintendo Switch consoles.

Gamers, who own other consoles aside from Xbox One or Xbox Series X, are naturally interested if “Halo Infinite” might arrive in other consoles such as the PlayStation 4 or the Nintendo Switch. The short answer, according to Daily Star, is “maybe.”

Xbox Head Phil Spencer seems okay with some of the Xbox games being playable in other consoles as well. “We use this tagline both internally and externally: Play the games you want, with the people you want and we say on the devices [you want], which you can think about as ‘anywhere’,” Spencer told Kotaku in an interview.

The gaming industry is changing

Apparently, Xbox wants families to just enjoy bonding over the game regardless of the console they use. They did it with Minecraft, which is now playable on Nintendo Switch as well.

“The scenario that always just drives me crazy is, I’m a parent, you’re a parent, we live in the same neighborhood, we have kids, you go into Best Buy and you happen to buy an Xbox,” Spencer explained. “I go into Best Buy and happen to come out with a PlayStation. Our kids want to play Minecraft together, and they can’t. “

Spencer believes that the gaming industry is changing. “And I think overall, as a gaming industry, how does that grow gaming? It’s changing, it’s not just us,” the Xbox head added.

Console no longer the focus

Naturally, Spencer was asked if Xbox would be making money if it shares its games to other consoles. The exec said that they’ll remain profitable since they don’t solely focus on console sales alone.

“The business is selling software and services,” Spencer explained. “The business is not how many consoles you sell. The consoles are not where the profit in this side of the business is made, which is where the whole: ‘Who’s selling more consoles’ at any one time as the kind of root good of who is doing well in the business is just not true.”

So that means that there is still a chance for “Halo: Infinite” to arrive in PlayStation or Nintendo Switch consoles.
