![]() It's not clear whether we'll see another restock in the UK after launch day however we'll make sure to let you know if there's a surprise drop. There were Halo edition Xbox Series X pre-order restocks right up until the console's release date of Monday 15th November 2021. The Halo-themed console has an RRP of £479.99 in the UK, €549.99 in Ireland and $549.99 in the US- so only a little more expensive than the standard Xbox Series X. As any dedicated PC gamer will tell you, frame rate is a lot more important than resolution, and whether you agree or not it’s fair to say that running Halo Infinite at 60fps is really rather lovely.Halo Infinite's release date has officially been announced (8th December 2021) and launching right alongside it to commemorate Halo's 20th anniversary, is a stunning new Halo Infinite Limited Edition Xbox Series X console and a new Halo-themed Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2. Of course there’s a lot more going on in Halo Infinite than the graphics alone. And it goes to show how great Halo Infinite can look on better hardware. If you told me the shot on the Xbox One was a screenshot from Halo 5, or the Master Chief Collection, I wouldn’t be surprised. There appears to be more of it in Halo Infinite, and it looks like an actual 3D asset - whereas the Xbox One’s plant life looks a lot flatter and less interesting. You can also see a stark difference in the details on the ground and the fauna. While the difference in the alien itself isn’t huge, the Xbox Series X still comes out more detailed and better lit. That may be down to the Series X’s 4K resolution, but it seems Microsoft’s best console gives Halo Infinite a better sense of scale - and brings home just how huge a Halo ring actually is. It’s also worth mentioning that the Xbox One version of the game is missing a number of environmental assets, more notably trees on the ridge, while everything else feels a lot closer. The Xbox One screenshot may be at sunset, thanks to Halo Infinite’s rudimentary day/night cycle, but the Xbox Series X version of the game is significantly better lit. This extra shot of the tower and the surrounding landscape also makes that point abundantly clear. It’s not quite so obvious when you’re playing, but a side-by side comparison makes it very clear. The latter are barely present on the Xbox One, and in this shot you can see everything is presented in the same general murk. ![]() The lighting on the Series X is also significantly better, in terms of brightness, coloring, and shadows. Meanwhile the Xbox Series X gives you a better impression of just how far away it is, since the focus isn’t quite there. The Banished ship is a big one here, since it’s more in-focus on the Xbox One, and appears closer. You can also see a stark difference in the objects in the background. ![]() There’s no denying that they are part of a video game, rather than a photo, but they look significantly better than what the Xbox One has to offer. The Xbox Series X has far more realistic-looking environments, especially on the ground. You can also see that in this shot overlooking the Banished tower. The trees in particular look much nicer and more lifelike compared to those on the Xbox One, since it’s easier to make out individual branches and details rather than getting a generic merged-together tree shape. ![]()
