Halo Studios' Brian Jarrard has confirmed that the future of Halo is multi-platform.
During the Halo World Championships, Microsoft confirmed the long-rumored remake of the first Halo, Halo: Campaign Evolved. It also happens to be the very first Halo game to arrive on PlayStation 5, or any PlayStation platform. Now, Microsoft and Halo Studios have confirmed that all Halo games going forward will be on PlayStation as well as Xbox consoles and PC.
Following the official announcement of Campaign Evolved, Halo Studios community director Brian Jarrard appeared on stage at the Halo World Championships and wore a PlayStation T-shirt while sharing the news about the franchise's multi-platform future.
"It's a huge deal," said Jarrard. "It's a long time coming. We're just super excited to be able to welcome even more players now into the franchise we love, to fall in love with Halo the same way we all did 24 years ago. As a community guy, I know the Halo community is super excited to welcome in their friends as well. It's just going to mean more Halo for everyone. It's really a new era. Halo is on PlayStation going forward, starting with Halo: Campaign Evolved."
This shift isn't surprising given Xbox president Sarah Bond recently suggested that the concept of exclusive games "is antiquated for most people." The number of Xbox games making the leap to PlayStation has greatly increased over the last two years, including another signature Xbox franchise, Gears of War. There have even been times this year when Xbox games dominated the best-selling titles on PlayStation's US sales charts.
Microsoft didn't announce the rumored live-service Halo game during the Halo World Championships, but the company has previously said that there are multiple new Halo games in the works. The 25th anniversary of the franchise is next year, and Halo: Campaign Evolved will launch in 2026 on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC.
