The game was supposed to be an Xbox Series X launch title, but the publisher has officially pushed the game back, citing the coronavirus pandemic as part of the reason for the delay. Across social media, Xbox fans expressed their disappointment with today’s news. While it will likely help to ensure the game reaches the heights that fans have come to expect from the franchise, it’s clear that this is still a disappointing day for Xbox fans.

This might hurt the system’s launch.
Seriously, that #HaloInfinite delay might have just lost me as a day one buyer of #Xbox Series X. What first party launch titles are gonna be capable of moving that console?โ Marco Monteiro (@MMonteiro90) August 11, 2020
What will be the big Xbox Series X launch title?
Halo infinite has been delayed to 2021. I heard because of the graphics complaints. To be fair, I think it's a good choice.
Wonder what people will buy on launch now?โ BillyTwigg (Pop Culture Pause Screen) (@RagingDestiny) August 11, 2020
Some fans already know what they have to look forward to, however!
My thoughts on this, we will only get a more polished and better experience, Infinite is the game us fans deserve and it deserves to be done right. We can look forward to ODST firefight on MCC, season 3 plus future Seasons as well as Infinite merch.

This might have something to do with fan feedback.
This will FOR SURE hurt a lot of the launch of #XboxSeriesX BUT delaying a #game is always a good think as i feel like you guys did a right job to listening to our feedback & working more on it to make it better & more polished.
Can't wait to play #HaloInfinite in 2021 for sure.โ Rustam (@Captain_Razer) August 11, 2020
