So what about games? Well, the rumor talks about Halo Infinite being a cross-generation game that will be a launch title, so it might release in Fall 2020. After Microsoft acquired Ninja Theory, their next game might be released in early 2020 although since it will be out before the release of the next-generation of Xbox consoles, it might not be a launch title.
