Halo Infinite developer 343 Industries broke the latest rumor about the touring game, displeasing many Xbox fans in the process. When Halo Infinite launches the 2021 holiday, it will do so through Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S and PC. However, a recent rumor claimed that when the first-person sci-fi launcher launches next year, it will only be for three of the four platforms mentioned above.
In case you missed it, the LinkedIn page of a game developer did a round this week to leave Xbox One in the list of platforms for which the game is developed. In other words, at the time, it seemed that the Xbox One version of the game could have been preserved.
Addressing this speculation, John Junyszek, a community manager at 343 Industries, dismissed it as untrue. Junyszek does not go into further detail, but there is little room to doubt the definitive nature of the answer, which was made when someone on Twitter asked the community manager if it is true that the Xbox One version has been preserved.
Not. Please let me enjoy the holidays 🤪

While Xbox One gamers who don’t make the leap to the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S will be pleased to know that the latest version of the game has not been handed over, many hardcore Xbox fans were actually disappointed with Junyszek’s response, citing the resources it wastes, the game being retained by the Xbox One and the hypothetical development problems caused by the old piece of hardware.
For the love of all things Halo, please tell me that the team is following the absolute disaster of Cyberpunk on genre 4 and immediately stopped the development in the last generation.

please go exclusively to the next generation, halo must use the full power of the next generation, because it is the iconic Xbox franchise. The game must be technically impressive, as all halos were before. it would also be strange to launch on the last generation all the way in the 2021 holiday

Poor resource thinking
