We asked Digital Foundry.

But is there cause for celebration for PlayStation 5 owners too?

Could Slipspace be ported to PS5?

Master Chief fights a Covenant enemy in Unreal Engine 5.

Well, yes, Digital Foundry says.

But it would require an extra layer of porting work that using Unreal Engine simply skips over.

But clearly this - with the move to UE5 instead - is no longer a going concern.

It will be by no means the last.

This indeed seems to have occurred.

“We said we’d watch…

Our franchises are as strong as they’ve ever been.

And we run a business.

“There’s a lot of pressure on the industry,” he concluded.

“It’s been growing for a long time, and now people are looking for ways to grow.

That’s gonna change for all of us.

But the end result has to be better games that more people can play.

If we’re not focused on that, I think we’re focused on the wrong things.”

Time will tell if this change includes Halo on PS5 - orSwitch 2.
