Studio 343 Industries published the April development progress update Halo: Infinite… This time, the blog was entirely devoted to the PC version of the shooter.
Halo: Infinite will be the first main series in many years to hit the PC concurrently with its console release, and 343i immediately made it clear that a lot of attention was paid to the release of the game on personal computers… The team’s goal is to provide PC gamers with what they expect, make the connection between PC and console versions of Halo: Infinite as seamless and seamless as possible, and ensure that all customizations and features are available regardless of their preferred gaming platform.
“Our goal is for PC [Halo: Infinite] worked harmoniously with console players so you can easily play with your friends regardless of platform. Honestly, it’s a real challenge to make something that is so customizable and advanced, but at the same time accessible and cross-platform, “- said project manager Mike Romero.
“This will be Halo, made by PC players for PC players,” added 343 Industries Producer Jeff Guy.
