If we go back ten years, probably no one would believe that one day “Halo” would not only be on the PlayStation, but the latest official trailer would even be specially marked: Captured on PS5 Pro. However, it really happened. “Halo: Campaign Evolved” recently released a new plot trailer, but eagle-eyed players quickly discovered that it was clearly marked at the beginning of the film that all the images were taken from PS5 Pro. After the news was exposed, it immediately detonated the community, and many Xbox players fell into chaos on the spot. After all, this is one of Xbox’s most iconic signature IPs.
Xbox’s signature IP, the result is displayed on PS5 Pro?
The trailer was released by the official Halo channel, but all footage shown is from the PS5 Pro version. Many players did not discuss the picture quality at the first time, but studied whether they had read typos. What’s even more interesting is that many netizens began to ask another question: If it is just to display the screen, why not use a PC? After all, “Halo: Campaign Evolved” will be released simultaneously on PC, and Xbox Series X is also one of the official platforms. In the end, the PS5 Pro was chosen as the source of promotional materials, leaving many people completely confused.
Players began to wonder: Was this trailer originally for Sony?
Because the incident was so bizarre, various speculations quickly emerged in the community. One of the most widely circulated theories is that this trailer may have been originally planned to appear at the PlayStation State of Play event a few days ago, so the PS5 Pro version material was prepared in advance. However, there is currently no official confirmation of the rumors. No matter what the reason is, many old players can’t help but sigh.
Back then, “Halo” was almost equal to the Xbox itself, and Master Chief was one of the most iconic characters in Microsoft’s gaming department. Now it is not only available on PS5, but also the promotional video is recorded on the PlayStation console, and the visual impact is even stronger than the game content itself.
The console war is over, but some people just haven’t gotten used to it yet
In fact, “Halo: Campaign Evolved” has already been confirmed to be launched simultaneously on Xbox Series X | S, PC and PS5. This is also the first time the series has officially launched on the PlayStation platform. Microsoft has continued to promote a cross-platform strategy in recent years, and many works that were considered exclusive to Xbox in the past have been launched on other platforms. It’s just that for many veteran players, accepting that Halo is coming to PS5 is one thing. It’s another thing to see the official type “Captured on PS5 Pro” below the trailer. After all, everyone used to fight over which console could play “Halo”, but now everyone fights over whose game “Halo” is.
