Microsoft has commented on the ongoing issues affecting Halo Infinite after its arrival late last year - after which, it says, the game"fell short" by not being able to satisfy players., Microsoft's Head of Xbox Game Studios Matt Booty praised the team which launched Halo Infinite after working through the pandemic to get the game done - but also admitted Microsoft had fallen short with its support for the game after its arrival.
"In December I think we had a peak of around 20 million players playing the game, and just kudos to the team for building and shipping a game during some pretty challenging times, right?" Booty said."Last year - still in the midst of the pandemic, still everybody trying to figure out how to adapt to remote work and hybird work. I think if there's a worse-case condition for trying to get games done, it is the big multi-hundred person team trying to final a game.
"So we have really retrenched, we've got some changes in how the team is set up, we've got some changes in leadership, and we've just got to really get refocused around that sustained content plan and making sure we're bringing a regular update of content for players." Beyond Halo Infinite's upcoming Winter Update, the game's Season 3 is set to launch in March 2023. It's at this time the"We know there's way more demand and there's so much more we could be delivering. [We] appreciate the players sticking with us and that is our focus right now - on quality of life and getting out a regular cadence of content, getting back to that.
"It was a little bit of a good finish at the finish line, and that classic runner's mistake of tripping and stumbling as you come across the finish line and we've got to recover there. The burden is on us," Booty concluded,"and the team is very focused on that right now.
