Microsoft may release potential ‘Halo’ remaster on PS5, Verge reports

Microsoft (MSFT) intends to expand its controversial plan for video games known internally as “Project Latitude,” which seeks to port previously Xbox console-exclusive titles to other platforms, including Sony‘s (SONY) PlayStation 5 and the Nintendo Switch (NTDOY), The Verge’s Tom Warren reports, citing sources familiar with the company’s efforts. The project began with games like “Hi-Fi Rush,” “Pentiment,” “Sea of Thieves,” and “Grounded,” but the plan will extend beyond these four games and into some titles that may surprise Xbox fans, including a potential remaster of “Halo: Combat Evolved,” the author says. The Fly notes that a “Halo” game has not released on a platform other than Xbox or PC in the franchise’s entire existence.
