Since Halo Infinites Multiplayer was released in November of last year’s free-to-play shooter cosmetics and Microtransactions have been heavily criticized and discussed, with many feeling that in-game item prices are too high. According to 343 Industries, things are about to change. Starting next week on Tuesday 18 January, players can expect reduced prices for cosmetic items in the shop, as well as some other welcome changes.
last night on twitter, 343’s design chief Jerry Hook stated that the developer behind the latest gloriole Entry has “monitored the discussions” around infinity in-game store and was ready to announce some changes. The first change, and arguably the best, is that prices will be reduced across the store.
When asked for more information on these prices, Hook simply added that they “lower.”
Hook also explained that along with lower prices, the “store experience will vary from week to week starting Tuesday.” The studio also plans to increase the quality and value of cosmetic packs, and plans to offer more individual items outside of packs to give players more choices about what they want and don’t want to spend their currency on.
“We’ll be trying new things for the rest of the season so we can keep learning and improving for the future,” said Haken.
One possible new thing Hook might be hinting at: The ability to earn the premium currency in the store for free. This was apparently hinted at in a tweet response following Hook’s announcement of reduced prices. Someone mentioned that if there was a free way to earn in-game credits, they wouldn’t need to drop the prices. Hook responded that he felt the studio needed to do both.
Halo infinity’s Battle Pass and Cosmetics continue to be a controversial topic among fans. Things are so heated in the church because of this and other things –like potential weapon annoy and a lack of game modes—that in the last month that gloriole Subreddit has been closed for a few days after Angry players spent weeks harassing them the developers behind it Halo infinity. Hopefully, The future is less angry, poisonous, and expensive.
