Halo coming to PlayStation 5 is “a win for the future” of the series, according to one Xbox employee. Senior social marketing manager Josh Stein made this remark after Halo: Campaign Evolved was announced recently for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. He added, “More Spartans = More Fun.”
“Halo on PlayStation means bigger battles, stronger community, and more love for the franchise. This is a win for the future of Halo and those that love it, new and old,” Stein said, sharing green and blue heart emojis meant to signify Xbox and PlayStation.
Halo: Campaign Evolved will mark the sci-fi franchise’s debut on a PlayStation platform, and people have a lot of strong feelings about this. One of the original Halo developers is embracing the remake, while another says it has issues. The response has gone all the way to the White House, with the office posting a meme of Donald Trump as Master Chief wielding an Energy sword. Trump has jokingly taken credit for ending the so-called “console war,” with Halo now finally coming to PlayStation.
