Is it true that Halo might be coming to the PS5? The internet has been buzzing with rumors about Xbox exclusives, including Gears of War and even Halo, potentially making their way to other consoles. Just a month ago, this would have been seen as a ridiculous hoax, but now it seems like it could actually happen.
Speculations began on Sunday when reports surfaced claiming that both Starfield and the newly announced Indiana Jones and the Great Circle will be released on the PlayStation 5. And now, Gears of War has been added to the list, with some even suggesting that Halo might also be on the table.
Microsoft has yet to confirm or deny these rumors, but Xbox boss Phil Spencer has announced an upcoming "business update event" where he will share more details about the future of Xbox. While there is no specific date for this event, it's clear that Spencer is responding to the rumors and it's interesting to note that he has not outright dismissed them.
However, it's important to take these rumors with a grain of salt, as not all of them may be true. With so many different sources and conflicting information, it's easy for false information to be spread. That being said, industry insider Jeff Grubb has a good track record with predictions and has also mentioned the possibility of Gears of War going multiplatform.
But where does this leave the next Gears of War game? Grubb has clarified that while discussions are ongoing, no final decision has been made yet. This suggests that Microsoft is not making all games available on other platforms as a standard, but rather on a case-by-case basis.
The only thing out of the ordinary about the idea of Gears of War going multiplatform is that there is currently no new game in development, despite persistent rumors of a remaster collection. As for Halo, the buzz about a potential PlayStation 5 release comes from a job advertisement posted by developer 343 Industries. The ad mentions creating a "high-quality, cohesive experience for all players, on all platforms," which is a strange choice of words for a job focused on an Xbox exclusive game. While it could just refer to Xbox and PC, the current climate makes it easy to speculate that it could also include the PlayStation 5.
Until Spencer addresses these rumors at the upcoming event, anything is possible. It's clear that Xbox is making some changes that could have a significant impact on the gaming industry as a whole. We'll just have to wait and see how it all unfolds.
In the meantime, fans can stay informed by following Xbox on social media and signing up for their newsletter. And who knows, maybe we'll get some exciting news about these rumors at the event next week. Stay tuned.
