Digital Foundry suggests that one of the reasons Halo is being made on the UE5 is to facilitate PS5 porting

​

Speaking to Eurogamer, Digital Foundry chief Richard Leadbetter said moving to Unreal 5 makes for “easier” multi-platform development than porting across the existing Slipspace engine.

"It stands to reason that an engine designed for deployment across multiple platforms would be easier to work with than existing technology built for Xbox and PC,” Leadbetter said.

TheVerge first reported on a Halo CE Remake being made in Unreal Engine 5 for PS5,XSX/PC back in June.

This with combined with the announcement from yesterday adds much more fuel for future Halo games coming to PS5.

Thanks for the heads up Alph.

IMO if Microsoft do this 2 things will happen; Playstation guys rejoice & Xbox guys revolt, to what extent who knows lol

Selfishly if or when I finally get a hand on a PS5 I'd wanna play this game & the other games (missed out 3 onwards because my 360 got RROD).

But Master Chief is Mario & MS doing this means they're waving the white flag...

For good.

If I'd to guess, eventually either Apple, Epic, Meta or Nvidia takes over their seat. With Valve (Steam) not too long ago acquired a seat at the table next to Sony & Nintendo, it will be fascinating indeed who has the gumption to step up.

I think MS has come to a realisation that in order for them to earn money from console exclusive games from a different platform is having to pay full price on the other platform. So basically what I mean is that we will see more 1st party games in PS and the reason for buying xbox will be that hey Gears of War is both on PS AND MS but in PS u pay full 70$, while if u have Xbox u pay a monthly subscription for 20$.

I don't see this happening. But who am I kidding, I am never right anyway.
