One thing fans wanted to know about Halo Infinite since its announcement at E3 2018 is whether or not it will be available through Xbox Game Pass and on what terms. Microsoft already has revealed they’ll make their first-party releases available on their subscription service, however, this one might not be Xbox Play Anywhere eligible.
What does Xbox Play Anywhere provide? Basically, if you buy a game with this label on either PC through the Microsoft store or Xbox Store you get a free copy of it on the other platform as well.
