“Riveting, fun, and mind-blowing experiences—on any device” Master Chief returns ushering with him a new era of gaming with a creatively diverse lineup of games paving the way for the Xbox Series X. In the Xbox Games Showcase that premiered 23 Thursday 2020, Microsoft Xbox debuted one of the most extensive lineups of different games in console history, led by Halo Infinite – and all in Xbox Game Pass day one. Part of the extensive lineup is due to the four generations of Xbox games that can be played on Xbox Series X, thanks in part to the new Xbox backwards compatibility.
Halo Infinite Multiplayer on launch is Free to Play and supports up to 120fps, complementing the better-than-ever complex visual effects.

How is the Halo Infinite Gameplay?
Halo Infinite is touted by Xbox as “the biggest and most-ambitious Halo ever”, and if the showcase and teasers were any indicator, there will indeed be stunning campaign gameplay, with new gameplay mechanics, bigger battles, epic vistas and more complex visual effects than ever before, utilizing the full power of Xbox Series X.
With a flawless 60 frames per second locked for campaign gameplay, and the freedom to explore a Halo ring that is several times larger than the last two Halo games combined, Halo Infinite will immerse players in the next chapter of the Master Chief’s journey. Break out your 4k UHD TV, Dolby surround sound, and gold HDMI cables.
