Halo 5 is getting a 4K update for the Xbox One X

Microsoft announced its new 4K-capable Xbox One X console at E3 this year, but Halo wasn’t even mentioned on stage at all. While it was never likely that a full new Halo would be ready in time for the Xbox One X later this year, 343 industries is revealing today that it plans to update Halo 5 with 4K support. The update will be available later this year, and 343 promises “more to share on this front as we get closer to release.”

​

It’s not clear how 343 will hit the 4K resolution, but it’s reasonable to assume Halo 5 in 4K will still run at 60fps. 343 prioritized frame rate over resolution for Halo 5, resulting in a game that used dynamic resolution scaling to keep the title running smoothly at 60fps.

Alongside the 4K support for Halo 5, a number of Halo titles are also coming to backwards compatibility for Xbox One later this year. Halo 3, Halo 3: ODST, Halo 4, and Halo: CE Anniversary will all be available, and each will contain campaign and multiplayer modes and even LAN play between Xbox One and Xbox 360. Every Xbox 360 add-on map pack in the Xbox Store will also be made available free of charge alongside the backwards compatibility releases.
