Halo Infinite Has Been Profitable For Some Time, Xbox Is Investing In The Next Game

Xbox Game Studios and 343 Industries first-person shooter, Halo Infinite, has been profitable for some time.

The ‘source’ is Jez Corden! 🤣

The games loaded with micros I can't see how it's not profitable. Ppl love their little skins and goofy cat ears nonesense.

As much as people wanna believe halo infinite isn’t a financial failure… there are gamers there that spend a lot of money on multiplayer games and on nonesense like you said. As long as the core gameplay is good there will be people spending on it.

The game launched with $20 basic color microtransactions like “red”.

But, most importantly, it launched with Microsoft’s marketing including sponsored streamers “having fun”.

Reason why the game currently averages 3k daily player 5 months after launch

Nobody needs Corden to inform anybody on how successful Halo Infinite is.

We known about the next Halo and how it will be powered by UE5 rather than Slipspace for quite some time now.

And yes. 343i will continue and lead Halo projects despite fake rumors claiming they would be replaced.

Jez kun oh Jez kun I don't if it's true or not

[RaidenBlack]

Is the next game, the Infinite sequel made using the same slipspace engine or Halo 1 remake made using UE5?
Likely former.

"Take anything this guy says with a grain of salt."

Have you been giving such warnings when he was spreading rumors about Xbox games coming to Playstation?

Genuine question

Jez is one of those people who is 50/50. I never take his rumors as legit until other vetted sources pick it up.

"Jez is one of those people who is 50/50. I never take his rumors as legit until other vetted sources pick it up."

Yeah... 50/50 is exactly on point with his reputation as an "insider" on Reddit.

However, to claim that Halo Infinite is successful and profitable when the same studio behind it will continue and develop one of Microsoft´s most important and expensive franchises to produce, is nothing but attest the obvious.

No way it has made the 500 million dollars back it took to make it. Lol.

[Reaper22_]

Lol..I agree because it didn't take 500 million to make. That BS was shot down way before it was released by the project lead. Don't confuse the budget for the game with development cost.

[Zombieburger638]

It’s too bad 343 failed this game. It had a lot of potential.

[PhillyDonJawn]

Duh it's halo

[franwex]

I play the MP often. I have yet to give them a penny directly though (does Game Pass revenue count as I did sign up for the campaign for a month?).

I know people that purchased the game. I also know people that play for free like me but bought the battle pass. So there’s plenty of ways that they made money from it if we sit back and think about it.

Halo Infinite has had almost three years of support. MS will not support a multiplayer game long term that underperforms. Crackdown 3 and Red Fall lost support very fast. Conversely, Halo 5, Halo Infinite, MCC, Gears 4, Gears 5 and Sea of Thieves and Flight Simulator got years of updates post releases.
