Halo Infinite’s player base is collapsing

Inside Gaming published this video item, entitled “Halo Infinite’s player base is collapsing” – below is their description.

Halo Infinite had a decent launch and its multiplayer is free yet its players are leaving in droves. We have all the details in today’s episode of Weekend Roundup.

Also a new Assassin’s Creed spinoff game could drop this year, Microsoft promises Activision Blizzard games will come to PlayStation and Switch, Nintendo had a solid Direct, and there is more Star Citizen.

This week’s 5-Second review shows just how far we have come with video game technology and the Coming Soon section is short but packing some heat with Horizon Forbidden West.

Thanks for watching and have a great weekend!
