Halo Studios looks to be fully embracing the PS5 and PS4 as it brings its Halo franchise to PlayStation platforms for the first time, so much so the two systems have been listed as preferences in the Halo Insider program.
This scheme allows players who have signed up to test upcoming Halo games before launch and provide feedback. The official description is as follows:
The Halo Insider Program is the official way for Halo fans and community members to partner with 343 Industries to help improve our games, products, and services. As a Halo Insider, you’ll have the opportunity to provide feedback and insights that help shape and inform current and future Halo franchise initiatives. Halo Insiders will also have exclusive opportunities to participate in public “flights” (hands-on playtests) of in-progress Halo game releases and provide feedback to our development teams.
Spotted by Halo community account grunt.api, you can now select PS5, PS5 Pro, PS4, and PS4 Pro as the consoles you play on as you select your preferences for any potential “console flighting” tests in the future.
The official Halo Insider website says “all of the updates and improvements to Halo: The Master Chief Collection were the direct result of flighting and feedback”, so the program is clearly more than just a beta.
It continues: “Each public flight has specific goals and requirements so not all Halo Insiders will be selected for every flight. Please ensure your Halo Insider settings are complete and accurate – including a verified email address – to improve your chances of getting invited to a flight.”
Halo on PlayStation begins with a remake of the 2001 original’s campaign in Halo: Campaign Evolved. It’s a “faithful yet modernized remake” that adds new prequel missions, four-player online co-op, and nine weapons that were added later to the series.
Since this is a campaign-only release, it’s unlikely a Halo Insider flighting test will be needed for the release, but Halo Studios has committed to having Halo on PlayStation going forward, so this is one for the future.
