Digital Foundry: Halo on Unreal Engine 5 makes it easier to port it for PS5, fueling multiplatform rumors

[John Elden Ring]

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.

Too bad nobody cares about Halo.

Pretty grafix and ease of porting is nice and all but this doesn't really tell us anything about what the next Halo game is going to be like other than "its gonna have GRAFIX"
That said if they do go the route to porting the series to Playstation, I hope y'all enjoy, and I hope they do more than just the new stuff and port the Master Chief Collection so y'all can enjoy the series at its prime.
They're pretty good games, and I say this as someone not into shooters. (note: I've only completed Halo 3 and Reach and played part of Halo 1)

Why would xbox multiplatform rumors ever need fuel if it's confirmed to be happening from Microsoft's side?

So Halo 1 remake on PS5 within the next few years. Cool.

Just give us Halo MCC on PS5. Not interested in the new stuff

Urgh, if there weren't enough shitty games already on PlayStation.

PlayStation fanboys can finally get a first person shooter from a first party studio. Granted, it's from Microsoft's first party studios instead of Sony's but close enough. lol

Shooters in general. SOCOM, Killzone, Resistance. All those are awesome.

These are no no now. No more games for men.

I'll say it until I'm blue in the face.

Games are the platform, not plastic boxes.

This joke doesn't work no more since they own cod. Maybe try again.

I'd ordinarily be with you but you think singleplayer games should be done away with in favor of multiplayer live service stuff so I'm not sure you know much about games as a platform themselves

Nope. Never said this.

Nope. Never said this.

My bad then. Sorry for misrepresenting you.

I wouldn't say no to Halo trilogy and Reach. I'm not interested in other games.
