Microsoft also announced the PC version of Halo Infinite will support ultrawide and super ultrawide screens, triple keybinds, a wide variety of advanced graphics options, and more.
"We know many of you play across more than just your PC, including on Xbox and mobile," said the head of Xbox Game Studios Matt Booty. "That’s why we’re excited to announce Halo Infinite will support multiplayer cross-play and cross-progression when it releases later this year. That means if you’re playing on PC, you can play with your friends on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S. It also means that your multiplayer customization and progress will follow you across all platforms.
"We have been working closely with the PC community to ensure that Halo Infinite offers a premier PC experience, including highly desired features such as support for ultrawide and super ultrawide screens, triple keybinds, a wide variety of advanced graphics options and more. We want to make sure that Halo is serving the PC community."
Microsoft added that they are using the cloud to make console gaming more accessible on more PCs, however, it is not meant to replace native PC gaming. Xbox Cloud Gaming is designed to give Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members more ways to play and allow the ability to play games even on lower-spec PCs.
"We’re also using the cloud to make console gaming accessible on even more PCs," said Booty. "While not meant to replace native PC gaming, Xbox Cloud Gaming allows Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members to play over 100 console games on a wide range of computers, from lower-spec, entry-level machines to older devices that otherwise couldn’t handle games that require more power."
