Is Halo Infinite coming to PS5? Yep, that Halo Infinite; 343 Industries‘ upcoming Xbox Series X juggernaut first-person shooter, which is currently in the works and is shaping up pretty impressively for a Holiday 2020 launch. And yet, somehow, folk are asking if there’s a Halo Infinite PS5 release on the cards. Yes, really.
So…is it happening?
Halo Infinite PS5
Let’s see. Nope. Nah. Never gonna happen! Microsoft has exclusive rights to Halo, and even though creator Bungie is out of the picture now (and has been for years, for that matter), 343 Industries isn’t going to develop Halo for PS5 anytime soon. After all, they’re one of the many developers under the Xbox Game Studios umbrella.

That’s like asking if Naughty Dog is going to bring Uncharted to the Xbox Series X, or if Santa Monica Studio will port over God of War to a non-Sony console.
Therefore, we can say unequivocally that Halo Infinite will not be coming to the PS5. Still, we doubt this is the last we’re going to hear about people searching for Xbox games coming to Sony’s new console.
Update 05/02/2024
It seems we might’ve been overconfident the last time we answered what’s clearly a burning question for players. At time of writing, it could very well be the case that yes, Halo Infinite will be coming to PS5.
The only problem is that we can’t yet say that for sure. At time of writing this update, rumours have been circulating regarding Xbox undergoing a huge change in strategy.
Namely, that it would stop having any exclusive titles, and that its first-party developed games would be coming to PlayStation and other platforms.
Phil Spencer is set to provide players with an update on the team’s “vision for the future of Xbox” next week at the time of this update, which might be when the games industry changes forever.
A Halo game could very well be coming to PlayStation before the end of the year. So for now, until that update at least, the answer is a huge maybe.
What Is Halo Infinite?
