A popular Halo dataminer found evidence that Microsoft plans to bring the franchise to PlayStation 5. The dataminer @gruntdotapi discovered a new game title on retail systems that works with Xbox Series consoles and PlayStation 5. This appears to be a completely new Halo game rather than a port of existing titles like Halo Infinite or the Master Chief Collection. The discovery suggests Microsoft wants to expand the franchise beyond Xbox platforms. The dataminer expects an official announcement soon.
The dataminer has proven reliable with past Halo information leaks. They often reveal new Halo Infinite content before Microsoft makes official announcements. Phil Spencer hinted at Xbox Game Showcase that a classic franchise would return in 2026. Many people believe Spencer meant Halo when he made that statement. A PlayStation 5 version could help introduce the series to new players who never owned Xbox consoles.
