In its recent Stream VOD, 343 Industries announced that the Slipspace Engine, the engine powering Halo Infinite, was developed with PC in mind. As such, the engine will scale on numerous PC hardware systems, though it remains to be seen whether it will be able to take full advantage of the PC capabilities.
Moreover, the team stated that PC will be “treated as a first-class citizen“, something that will definitely please a number of Halo PC gamers. Still, the team appears to be facing some technical challenges with the PC version and as such Halo PC flight programs may come later than the other flights. Still, the team confirmed that AntiCheat for the PC will also be present.
343 Industries did not reveal any additional tech details but we’re almost certain that the game will be using DirectX 12. Moreover, we are almost certain that it will be coming exclusively to Microsoft’s Windows Store (as pretty much all of its first-party titles). Still, and if Gears4 is anything to go by, we can safely assume that Halo Infinite will run wonderfully on Windows 10 when it finally comes out.
We’ve embedded below the initial reveal trailer of the game that was shown at this year’s E3 event.
Stay tuned for more!

disqus_o7lCsGnUsP no but
Don’t even make a new halo. Just out the halo collection on pc, Add in halo reach and we’re good
That be an epic start(they need to do that ^^^!), still I want Halo Infinite hard core on the PC. Hope the news is true about the PC experience/effort.
An open world Halo like Far Cry 3 that you can play solo, offline, and has RPG progression etc sounds pretty amazing to me(if that is all true). That is what I always wanted it to evolve/that they would make eventually.
I would tone down your expectations . Just because something sounds good on paper doesn’t mean it will actually work . Especially with how crap 343 is and microsoft and video game industry in general
halo is trash
Infinite microtransaction possibilities.
I believe this is the point of the game as well. Just a “reason” to sell another marketplace (the real product MS peddles).
I kind of said it in jest, but knowing the way the industry is going, it wouldn’t surprise me if this Halo game is yet another platform for microtransactions. Like an interactive digital marketplace more than a game.
When 343 all of a sudden says they want to treat PC gamers like first-class citizens, it tells me that they probably want to just tap into the lucrative PC microtransaction market. More power to them but I don’t expect much from the game.
We live in a time when microtransactions are king. Ubisoft said in one of their Quarterly Financial Statements this year that they now generate more revenue from microtransactions than they do from the actual game sales. Look at a game like League of Legends. Riot Games rakes in billions of dollars from microtransactions:
2014 1 billion dollars
2015 1.3 billion dollars
2016 1.6 billion dollars
2017 2 billion dollars
It seems that people will spend a lot of money on junk so it’s no surprise to see a Developer design a game around pushing microtransactions these days.
Yep. Gotta blame gamers. Producers fish where the fish are biting and I don’t blame them.
I’ll believe it when i see it
What’s the point? Microsoft will going to make it Windows store exclusive and only 12 people will play it.
“PC gamers to be treated as first-class citizens”
Gee how thoughtful. Sounds just like it was funneled through the Greenberg marketing filter. I remember when they told investors that the Xbone was a “first class experience.” Consumers of EVERY platform should be treated as “first class citizens” at a minimum. We’ve always paid the same price as everyone else and end up with poor console ports, so if you sell your game on PC, it should be the best like everywhere else by default. This should not be something to brag about and we will be the judges if we are “treated as first-class citizens” when we get our hands on it. God the Greenberg stench is already starting up.
Also none of this must be an excuse to release it months later on PC to “fine tune PC for the best experience we can make it” (like Activision did with Destiny 2). We all know full well this practice is meant to intentionally delay and cause “double dipping” by the more interested fans.
So far, all this “talk” just seems like fabricated value that’s buffing up more than whats going to be there using finely crafted marketing bullsh*t. Next thing they will tell us is how it supports uncapped framerates, 4k textures, and includes other settings that would be there on PC anyways.
Yeah, right. But why would I buy Halo 6 having played only Halo 1? Releasing the MCC on PC should be a bigger priority for Microsoft.
TurdBox fans would have a sh*t-fit if that happened.
because you’re dumb, halo is a big overrated sack of cow shet.
I agree Halo is overrated and a sack of sh*t, particularly the second part of every Halo game iv played (Halo 1-3, I couldn’t take any more) when the Flud appear but he has a point. Some people like crap games but why would they want to play the 6th crap game in the series when the last one they got on their platform was the second?
I have no doubt people will tell MS that this practice is ok and buy it though, they did with Gears.
Nope, great franchise
it’s trash like your iq.
Maybe that’s how you feel about yourself. Projecting your insecurities on to someone else lol. Merry Christmas pu**y
Halo is great. I still remember how amazing Halo CE was. Everything was so well done – the worldbuilding, the story, the gameplay, the soundtrack, the atmosphere. The AI was fantastic too.
nothing about halo is great, you can lie to yourself you dumb xbot but most know halo is trash. the only ones who like halo are low iq blacks on twitter who deep throat for microshaft and nostalgic autists.
Definitely, I can also tell your comment is 100% serious not trolling.
what makes you think i’m trolling at the first place? halo is trash, period.
In your opinion.
I liked it.
it’s not my opinion, it’s fact. i could engage in a conversation with you and ask you to prove halo is not trash and you’d have nothing to say other than some nostalgic nonsense that you and other f4gs like yourself who played halo in their childhood would say. i proved with facts that halo has nothing special for it going earlier before and i’m not repeating myself for delusional nostalgic autists, so go find it yourself.
lmao, definitely a troll xD
yeah i’m troll because you can’t prove halo isn’t shet.

to me it seems like you feel like an idiot so you’re compensating with these pictures, you remind me of people with actual down syndrome who order food by pointing finger at pictures. who am i to judge maybe you really do have down syndrome. if that’s the case i apologize.

go play the massiveley overly-overly-overlyrated CoD master race then :3
never played any cod other than first 3 but i would easily pick new cods to play instead of halo if i was forced to choose, at least cod games are fun compared to halo.
Ive played all CoDs untill cod Black ops 3 they fun as heck, and ive played all halos except halo 5 all super fun but if u dont like it then ok, what about battlefiedl u like it?
yes but lost interest when they removed single player skirmish after bf2 and i quit playing it after bf4
MyNuts1995 but
It’s not Halo 6. It’s a detour game, like Reach or ODST.
No it’s next main Halo. For all intents and purposes it’s Halo 6 and will continue the main story.
Well that sucks. I stand corrected. I was hoping for an intermittent game prior to Halo 6.
Windows store Exclusive lolz
“PC will be “treated as a first-class citizen“”
Holding content prisoner to,
– Microsoft UWP
– Microsoft Xbox Live
– Microsoft Windows 10
– Microsoft Windows 10 Store
…is ‘treating PC as a first-class citizen’ in the view of a Microsoft Studios dev? smh. What he actually meant was,
‘We at Microsoft Studios dutifully treat only Microsoft’s ecosystem as a first-class citizen but please do swallow our PR platitudes like the easily pleased and gullible Xbots do’.
You’re not implying that MS would be deceptive to PC Gamers are you?
SpecTr0 says they are a great company. /s
I wonder what happened to that MS shill.
Perish the thought!
“PC gamers to be treated as first-class citizens” BS ! Unless they also make it available on Steam.
“PC gamers to be treated as first-class citizens”
“Halo Infinite is an upcoming sequel to Halo 5: Guardians and the third part of the Reclaimer Saga.”
It’s like start watching GOT from 4 season. lul

a forced black main character incoming.
“first class citizens”… https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/191396b02cbeb9a690d61bae8059dcb0be68f3c76dba53e2bcb7280c846f0dfb.gif
“PC gamers to be treated as first class citizens” ….”Games play best on Xbox One”.
Smells a bit fishy to me.
/vomit
The game will be an Xbox Scarlett launch title. Considering all the different rumored SKUs that Microsoft plans to release for next-gen, it’s no wonder that the game engine was developed with the PC in mind. Halo Infinite will need to be immensely scalable to cater to multiple Xbox consoles as well as various PC configurations.
Haven’t played a halo game in years. Looks like this will be worth keeping an eye on to see how it pans out.
We all know it will be Win 10 only!
