On the occasion of the call for investors for the second quarter of the fiscal year, the boss of Microsoft announced that Halo Infinite represented the best launch of the entire legendary franchise FPS.
This announcement was also relayed on the saga's official Twitter account to thank the many fans who reconnected with Master Chief and joined the fight on the free-to-play multiplayer.
Master Launch
To say that Halo Infinite was highly anticipated is an understatement, six years after Halo 5 which had disappointed in more ways than one. Such an expectation that the new title from 343 Industries would have gathered no less than 20 million Spartans since its launch in early December 2021!
If we do not know the exact proportion of players on the PC (via Steam), Xbox One, Xbox Series X | S and Game Pass versions, we bet that the presence of Halo Infinite as soon as it is released on the service of Microsoft's subscription contributed greatly to this record launch. Similarly, the fact that the free-to-play multiplayer is separated from the single-player campaign must have brought in many budding Spartans.
It is in any case a very good performance which must have caused a huge breath of relief to grow at 343 Industries, thanks to a title that skilfully mixes tradition and modernity within the famous Halo franchise. Let's hope that the continuation of the adventures of Master Chief and multiplayer will be up to this feat, both of which have nevertheless left a slight taste of too little in the long term.
