Halo Infinite is the most successful Halo game
The major news was initially revealed during Microsoft's quarterly results call on January 25, when the company announced record profits across the board. According to Microsoft, the company as a whole did well during the holiday season, with Xbox services revenue up 10% and Xbox hardware revenue up 4% from October to December.
It should come as no surprise that the introduction of Halo Infinite and Forza Horizon 5, both of which have resulted in higher Xbox Series X sales and Game Pass subscriptions, has had a significant influence on these figures.
Microsoft's achievement comes after the business made news last week when it announced it would buy Activision Blizzard, the studio behind Call of Duty, World of Warcraft, Overwatch, Diablo, and Candy Crush. The $70 billion merger stunned the gaming industry, raising numerous worries about how it will influence the industry as a whole, as well as the ongoing investigations, strikes, and claims against Activision Blizzard.
