Halo Infinitehas been one of the games of the moment since it played a huge part in Microsoft’sXbox Games Showcase. There’s been plenty of talk surrounding thegrappling hook, recreations of the game in bothMinecraftandDreamsand most importantly,Craig,the now infamous brute who has now been meme’d many times.
Now, a European toy superstore may have just added some fuel to the Halo fire by leaking some massive information regarding the game’s multiplayer. A listing on theSmyths Toyswebsite has suggested thatHalo Infinite’smultiplayer will be free-to-play and run at up to 120 FPS.
While the listing has now suspiciously been removed by the retailer, quick-witted viewers managed to grab screenshots of the information. The original listing said:
“The legendary Halo series returns with the most expansive Master Chief campaign yet and a groundbreaking free-to-play multiplayer experience. Enjoy up to 120 FPS and greatly reduced load times creating seamless gameplay with Xbox Series X.”
The initialHalo Infinitemultiplayer rumour was that it was delayed, however, that wasquickly shot downand this rumour that it will be free to play is far more enticing to fans than any potential delay.
The Free-To-Play model has been hugely successful in games likeFortnite, Apex Legends and Call of Duty: Warzoneso it’s no massive surprise to seeHalo Infiniteadopting it. While the game doesn’t fall into the Battle Royale genre like its counterparts, a similar “Battle Pass” system could well be implemented.
