Now, Halo on Switch has been rumored for a while, maybe this is it?

 

[boi]

Stadia? lol

 

[LewieP]

Could be GOG?

 

[Uzupedro]

My bet is xCloud for PC.

 

[Dark Mantonio]

Switch would be a great choice. Hook a whole new audience

 

[PlanetSmasher]

It's not coming out on Switch, don't be ridiculous. They're probably doing a dumb streamed version.

 

[CloseTalker]

Epic makes 100000% more sense than switch lol. Or is it not on xCloud yet? If not then that

 

[The Main Event]

Such a wild rumor. I'll only believe it once I see it lol

 

[MWorldII]

Epic Games Store

 

[Transistor]

I could see EGS

 

[BasilZero]

Finally. Playstation gets Halo.

Spoiler

lol

 

[Wackamole]

Can't imagine it coming to Switch.

 

[Aurongel]

I don't see the value in porting a native version of it to Switch when they probably want to use it to push their cloud streaming infrastructure. Does Nintendo even still allow 100% streamed games on their platform?

 

[sredgrin]

Why would they be teasing switch ports when they are talking about what are effectively beta tests for features they are planning to patch in? They literally list in the same list as like FOV, key bindings and KBAM stuff.

 

[Toumari]

Tesla.

 

[FUNKNOWN iXi]

It's most likely the Custom Games Browser they've been mentioning for a while.

Summoning wwm0nkey to bestow knowledge on this thread.

 

[driqe]

Xcloud on ios/PC. They didn't mention the word 'platforms' in their post btw. This could also be some new maps or a custom games browser

Hitman 3 and Control cloud versions have both just come to Switch.

 

[Spork4000]

It says "new way to play" so it's not epic. Could be Tesla and could be switch.

 

[Dedazen]

XCloud or Epic Games Store

They didn't even actually say new platform. People are making a lot of assumptions based on one vague statement.

Halo: Master Collection for Smash

 

[FrakEarth]

I hope to get a series X at some point in the next year or so, but I'll buy if they come to Switch! I don't think I ever played the single player campaigns, I was in university when Halo 3 came out so I only really remember playing multiplayer with people.

edit: reading the actual quote - sounds like it could be new content maybe?

 

[Combichristoffersen]

Finally it gets an N-Gage port.

Probably xCloud or EGS

Spoiler

But I'd buy a Switch port just to experience Halo for the first time.

 

[Tuxedoassassin]

It's a stretch but I would play Halo on the Switch.

 

[RowdyReverb]

Maybe iOS? That Xcloud web app finally coming through?

 

[ILikeFeet]

the game isn't available for cloud streaming yet?

so that, or switch

 

[JINX]

No they didn't, it's about new maps and customs browser.

 

[Akai]

I honestly think this is just about Halo Online maps being added and/or a Custom Game Browser tease, since the latter actually showed up in PC gamefiles:

 

[Rosebud]

"a new place and WAY to play" makes me think Switch.

I think some insiders hinted it some time ago, but no idea of their credibility.

 

[Deleted member 56995]

I wasn't aware the game wasn't on streaming. So it's probably that.

 

[Judge]

I feel like they are talking about in-game lol...like a new map...

 

[YolkFolk]

The collection on Switch and Master Chief in Smash.

 

[Dan Thunder]

The only way it'd ever be on switch is if nintendo allow some sort of Xcloud app on there, which won't happen.

 

[Yukiko]

Is this finally the "impossible" game like "mario on ps4" that was hinted at?

 

[christocolus]

Hmm. I see there's still so much thirst for Halo 🙂. Infinite can't come soon enough.

No they didn't, it's about new maps and customs browser.

This.

 

[Ryuelli]

Gameboy Advance, probably.

 

[FarSight XR-20]

It's likely the Custom Games Browser and new map perhaps. I think it has 0% chance coming to Switch.

 

[nightstalker962]

Finally I get to play it on Ouya.

 

[Pryme]

It's extremely unlikely it's referring to a Switch port.

 

[Ryan.]

I guarantee you all that it's not coming to new platforms

 

[SCUMMbag]

I just checked and I can play it on Game Pass Cloud.

 

[Chief Malik]

That game is like 150 GBs

 

[AshenOne]

With that wording, its either xCloud or Switch.

 

[HylianMaster2020]

Halo on PS5 would be genius.

 

[jokkir]

It's going to finally come out on the DS

 

[oriic]

Remember Halo DS! :D

 

[CubeApple76]

It's just gonna be xCloud PC and IOS.

 

[JahIthBer]

I still find it funny some people on era were saying MCC would come to Switch before PC, though it isn't impossible for MS to share the IP, MCC is bloated as hell, i don't think Switch could run it, like at all.

 

[DOT_mjo]

Obviously coming to PlayStation.
