Halo Infinite Demo was a work-in-progress build, but running on a PC as powerful as the X Series


The Halo Infinite demo, which premiered during the Xbox Games Showcase last night, was a work-in-progress build, running on a PC with specifications equivalent to the Xbox Series X. In an interview with Inside Gaming, the manager of Xbox marketing Aaron Greenberg responded to criticism of Infinite Graphics, which says, “Listen, we are in the midst of a global pandemic. It is July, we are far from [launch in] Holiday, you’re watching a work in progress game. “

He went on to say that the broadcast itself may be part of the answer: “It is very difficult to show all the power and graphic fidelity of what the Xbox Series X will be able to offer you through a broadcast. Go back and watch it in 4K 60” on reference to the fact that the broadcast was delivered live in 1080p, but the game premiere can be viewed in 4K 60 FPS on the Halo YouTube channel.That said, many have pointed to the flat lighting and low-resolution textures in the game’s official screenshots, but Greenberg reiterated that the look will improve: “The other thing I’ll just say is: it’s a work in progress.” I can tell you, because we see build logs every week, and they progress week after week, so between now and the holidays everything will get better and better. “

Some had wondered what hardware was being used to run the demo, given that the game is coming to Xbox One, PC, and Xbox Series X. In a Q&A with 343 Industries, PCGamesN was informed that the images “were captured from a PC that is representative of the experience that players will have on Xbox Series X. “
