I’ve made the rounds of various gaming sights and haven’t seen anything… and I didn’t see this topic anywhere… but does anyone know or can confirm if there’s going to be a difference between the Xbox One version vs. the Series X version?? Last I thought I saw there were going to do both… just wondering if that was still the case and if there were going to be any major differences since I have a feeling it’s going to be a very long time till I can get my hands on one (if at all)
yes, there will. Xbox one is inferior from a hardware perspective, you will most likely get a lot lower FPS, and a weaker resolution. Content-wise? None at launch, though my money is new content will eventually not support the original xbone. Really, it probably just be best to get the series S (heavily rumored to be 300) which is roughly on par with the Xbox one X though with a more powerful CPU (its the same as the series X CPU if the recent post by the verge is true). Its cheaper and unless your running 4k, generally a better decision.
Wasn’t too concerned about hardware specs… I knew those would be superior to the One… was looking at content… What little I’ve found so far suggested they would release game on both for a minute… and I was talking to a buddy of mine at work about if they were was going to be any content differences… I hadn’t seen anything about it, except for the delay… just was curious if anyone had read or seen anything… 
oh yea defintely will be a difference with series x gonna be THE best way to play infinite on console we know 4k60 for campaign and 120fps multiplayer on series x remains to be seen on the performance of xbox one versions

so, we dont even know whats in the base game besides high-level Single player and Multiplayer. Everything will be there at launch though and most likely there will be exclusive content down the line

Halo Infinite at launch will most likely be the exact same on both the One and Series X/S content-wise. I can see them maybe making only one, possibly two campaign expansions that would support the Xbox One for like maybe a year after launch. If it stretches to two years I’ll be a bit surprised.

That’d be nice… after working retail for many years, I know how crazy it gets when consoles launch. Unless they do a pre-order (which let’s be honest, probably won’t)… I have a feeling it’ll be an extremely long time for me to get my hands on one…

Yeah I think it’s a really cool thing that they are still developing Infinite for the xbox one to give people more options. I really hope they do a preorder for the series x because not doing so would be a very…strange move. Also congrats on surviving for years in retail! I’ve never worked a console launch, but I imagine it must be insane.
If infinite gets launched on series x im not gonna buy it, a new console just for 1 game?

Some other new games are also going to be released on the series x plus with its special backwards compatibility you can be able to play a lot even at launch though it’s best to wait till it releases in November and see what the verdict might be.
I don’t believe they’ve specified the exact differences yet but since the SX is a more powerful system you can expect:
Faster loading
Better graphics
Higher frame rate
You know, general visuals/performance upgrade stuff. I think the only thing they’ve said so far is the SX will have 120fps MP.
What none of you has mentioned is there’s also more RAM in the system. That equates to better and bigger files for the game itself. Huge worlds. More detail on everything. Decompressed files loading to play the game. I could go on here but I think you get my drift

you know you buying the console is to future proof yourself and or get the performance and boosts in other games. Of course, if you do not think that justifies the upgrade, that’s perfectly fine. It’s your money, you do you.
I see most of you are missing the point of this thread… and I’ll direct your attention to the third post in this thread. And that’s my fault, I didn’t make the OP clear. So I’ll try again…
I know all about the hardware differences. That’s a no brainer… even the newest iteration of Xbox one is how old? And I’m not too concerned about the tech specs, I have an semi old HD TV… no 4k and any of that other stuff. And obviously a new system will have superior wizardry under the hood. That’s a duh!! moment… That and it would be kind of silly to start a thread about xbox hardware in a halo forum…
My point was… in the early days of Microsoft releasing information about the Series X… they made mention of games coming out for both systems and utilizing smart delivery… what I wanted to know… and some of you have offered your thoughts on this and I appreciate that… was if there was going to be any major content differences between Infinite that comes out on Xbox One vs. Infinite that comes out on the Series X…

They haven’t announced any content or modes that will be missing in one version vs another. They’re likely still in the process of figuring out whether the old 2013 Xbox One is capable of running all the same content as the Series X/PC version.
Probably are or were aiming for parity between all the versions of the game, so nothing is missing anywhere, but it probably hasn’t been fully nailed down yet.
A compromise some players have suggested is to limit and strip down the Xbox One version so maybe it’s multiplayer-only, and the more demanding campaign and stuff are exclusive to new consoles and PC and are not held back by the old hardware, but 343 hasn’t confirmed anything like that

That would be a bummer… I know how hectic system launches are… and I’m a physical disc kind of guy, so if that’s what the S ends up being, I’d rule that out… and as a grown up with grown up responsibilities, it’s going to be a while before I come up with that kind of money… so I’d hate to miss out on content…
if you are a console gamer, get a used xbox one x as that will be cheaper than the xbox series x and you will get better performance over the xbox one launch console.
I mean its probably going to be different on Xbox series X, Xbox series S, Xbox 1 and PC
so take your pick really do graphics for you really mean that much to you…
Gameplay and visuals will be less effective, or frame drops for XBOne.

Get a Series S instead, would probably cost about the same or just slightly more than a used One X, give the same or slightly better performance, and be more future-proofed
