Overview

• Dataminer @gruntdotapi discovered an unannounced Halo game listed on the 343 Industries retail API for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series consoles
• The title’s fresh API identifier indicates it is neither Halo Infinite nor the Master Chief Collection, pointing to a new entry in the franchise
• There is no indication of a Nintendo Switch or Switch 2 version, with compatibility currently limited to PS5 and Xbox platforms
• Phil Spencer’s recent tease of a returning long-standing franchise at the Xbox Game Showcase has fueled anticipation for an imminent Halo announcement
• The finding aligns with Microsoft’s broader strategy of bringing Xbox exclusives like Sea of Thieves and Forza Horizon 5 to other consoles
