Forbes: The “Halo Infinite” numbers we can see do not look great (TLHBR)

Halo Infinite is meant to be a “platform” for an entire generation of Halo going forward in the Xbox “Series” era, but after solid numbers at initial launch, Infinite does not seem to be performing terribly well over the long term, at least in the context of its competition, and how outsized a franchise it’s supposed to be in Microsoft’s roster.

 

Here are some Halo Infinite facts that I find somewhat notable and worrying here just three months after launch:

 

• Halo Infinite is on the verge of falling out of the top 10 most-played games on Xbox, and old favorites that do have engaged, long-term playerbases like Apex, Fortnite, Warzone, GTA 5, Destiny, Roblox and Rainbow Six Siege have all passed it.
• Halo Infinite is a poor performer on Twitch outside of major events. It routinely has sub-1,000 viewers (704 at the time I’m writing this), putting it far outside the top 100 most watched games on Twitch most of the time.
• On Steam, Halo has dropped from a peak of 256,000 players to more recently around 13,000. Halo: The Master Chief Collection has about half as many players on PC despite being released in 2014. Again, it’s routinely outside Steam’s top 100 games while shooter competitor fixtures like CSGO, PUBG, Destiny and Apex remain near the top.

 

 

 

 Wasn’t this piece of shit supposed to last 10 years? How can it last 10 years when it’s already on life support after 3 months?

Nice deflection, but this thread isn't about BF2042 

 

This is about the most hyped Halo game in existence, that was 5 years in the making with an incredible budget and still managed to disappoint.

Not surprising, the Halo franchise lost it's prestige status a long time ago.

Halo fans combined with 343 are the worst thing that ever happened to Halo

 

You've got a niche part of the fanbase who refuses to accept change and a developer not capable of it. So you end up with a shitty game with 20 year old gameplay where the rest of the world has moved on and the fanbase is never happy
