Halo Series Will Stay On PlayStation Moving Forward, Says Dev

Expert Verified By

Halo Has Found A New Home On PlayStation!

Story Highlight
  • Halo Studios has confirmed that the series will be on PlayStation moving forward.
  • The team is excited to see new players joining the franchise, describing the transition as a long time coming.
  • A new Halo live-service title is said to be coming next after this remake.

Halo has always been popular among die-hard first-person shooter fans. In particular, the IP has represented a big part of the Xbox brand.

However, with the latest announcement of Halo: Campaign Evolved, Master Chief is finally set to make his debut on PlayStation after two decades. Making things even more interesting, Halo Studios has confirmed that the series is here to stay on PlayStation.

Why it matters: Xbox still plans to make a premium home console for the next generation, but the platform will be devoid of any exclusives.

Although there was little doubt about future entries possibly skipping PlayStation hardware, the team behind the Combat Evolved remake has confirmed that Halo has gone third-party permanently.

Moving forward, fans should expect to see the IP’s biggest games launching simultaneously on PS5, Xbox Series S|X, and PC. Moreover, support for third-party handhelds like the Steam Deck and Rog Ally is also expected.

In the past, Halo was limited to just PC and Xbox hardware, with future entries eventually dropping the former platform during the Xbox 360 era. Following the release of Halo Infinite and The Master Chief Collection, the series returned to PC, and only a few years later has now appeared on PS5.

According to Community Manager Biran Jarrad, this transition has been a long time coming, and everyone on the team is excited to welcome new players to the series. Moreover, this shift marks a completely new era for Halo.

Halo is on PlayStation going forward. It’s really a new era.
