The announcement that the remake of Halo: Combat Evolved was going to launch on PS5 alongside Xbox and PC was a landmark moment. While Xbox was clearly heading in a multiplatform direction, it was still shocking to see Xbox’s most iconic franchise announced for Sony’s machine. And now, Halo Studios has confirmed that Halo will on PlayStation going forward.
Community director Brian Jarrad dropped the relevant quote on a livestream during the Halo World Championships, while also wearing a PlayStation shirt.
“It’s a huge deal, it’s a long time coming. We’re just super excited to be able to welcome even more players now to the franchise we loved, to fall in love with Halo the same way that we all did 24 years ago here at this point,” said Brian. “As a community guy, I know that the Halo community is super excited to welcome in their friends as well — it’s just going to be more Halo for everyone. And it’s really a new era. Halo is on PlayStation going forward, starting with Halo: Campaign Evolved.”

Clearly, this means all future Halo titles will launch on PlayStation, either on day 1 or as timed exclusives. The only question right now is if we will also see the likes of The Master Chief Collection and Halo: Infinite get ported over. It makes sense to port Halo: Infinite over, since as a live-service game, it needs as many players as possible, and a release on PS5 could bring in a lot of new blood.
