In a groundbreaking announcement, Xbox has confirmed that the iconic Halo series will now be available on PlayStation consoles, marking a significant shift in the gaming landscape. Community director Brian Jarrard, donning a PlayStation t-shirt, expressed excitement about welcoming new players into the Halo universe with the upcoming release of Halo: Campaign Evolved. This move not only broadens the franchise’s reach but also signifies a new era for Xbox as it embraces a multiplatform strategy.

In a significant shift for the gaming industry, Obsidian’s highly anticipated title, The Outer Worlds 2, has officially become Xbox’s first $80 game. This price adjustment, confirmed during Xbox’s recent Games Showcase, reflects a broader trend in the gaming market as developers and publishers grapple with rising production costs and market conditions. Alongside a Premium Edition priced at $100, which offers early access and a DLC pass, this move signals a new era for gamers and their wallets.
