With Hi-Fi Rush, Sea of Thieves, Pentiment, and Grounded, Microsoft has now opened the floodgates for first-party Xbox games on rival platforms, and though the company has yet to officially announce further plans, it’s no secret to anyone that there will be further plans in the not-so-distant future. The full extent of those plans is obviously not known, but according to The Verge’s Tom Warren, it will include on of Xbox’s biggest properties- if not the biggest.

That’s right, according to Warren, Microsoft is considering bringing Halo to PlayStation consoles. More specifically, a remaster of Halo: Combat Evolved is currently in development, and it’s one of several first-party games that Microsoft is eying for PS5.

Of course, a remaster of the original Halo already exists with 2011’s Anniversary Edition, which is also part of Halo: The Master Chief Collection. Whether this second remaster is being built on top of that or as a separate project remains to be seen.

Meanwhile, it’s claimed that Microsoft also does have a number of upcoming first-party titles that it doesn’t intend to bring to rival platforms, like Fable and South of Midnight, both of which are allegedly targeting 2025 releases. Read more on that through here.
