All signs point to NO at this very moment.
While some will try and mention that other games have made a recovery. Please remember that people highly over exaggerate the middling success of Sea of Thieves or No Mans Sky.
At this very moment in time on Steam Halo continues to hemorrhage players where it’s going toe to toe with Master Chief Collection. Which tells us that MCC is actually the more successful game; as it actually requires purchase.
Before you grasp at straw claiming gamespass; it’s currently ranked 19th on XBL in North America and 61st on Windows Store (pvp is a separate listing on windows - campaign is much further back). Forza has clearly established itself as Xbox’s number one brand.
Then compare it to destiny which charges players 100$ a year to play and it’s embarrassing that O FOR 3 can’t compete with the developer they plagiarize.
No game has ever recovered from such low numbers. Especially a juggernaut IP with Microsoft marketing money and funding.
Can Creative Assembly and a Battle Royale save it?
Actually it can. But just like Warzone cannibalizes and killed traditional COD… Vanguard ranked 20 on XBL for instance vs Warzone at 2. It would be a different game and effectively kill off the Halo you knew for good if it does take off.
I’m sorry. It’s time for a reality check. Infinite is the biggest flop of the generation. Even a cross media plan with the tv show dropped the ball and still led to less players caring about Halo. It all backfired big time.
