Halo Infinite cat ears and other cosmetics to become permanently cheaper
metro.co.uk343 Industries will be cutting the prices of items in Halo Infinite’s store alongside the Cyber Showdown event.
If you’ve ever been tempted by Halo Infinite’s various cosmetics, like the cat ears, but balked at their prices, you’ll be pleased to know that 343 Industries is making some revisions.
Recently on Twitter, 343’s head of design Jerry Hook explained changes to the in-game shop will begin from tomorrow on Tuesday, January 18. There are currently no specific price cuts, but the studio is focused on reducing prices across the board.
‘We’ve been monitoring the discussions on the Shop, bundles, and pricing closely since launch,’ says Hook. ‘Using data and community feedback, we’re going to begin rolling out changes to how we package and price items in Halo Infinite.
‘Starting Tuesday, the shop experience will vary week-to-week. We are focused on reducing pricing across the board, providing stronger values in our bundles, starting to put individual items outside of bundles, and more.’
343 has been very receptive to player feedback since Halo Infinite’s launch. It’s already addressed complaints regarding the battle pass and added a Slayer playlist due to popular demand.
However, there’s no word on whether anyone who already bought any items at their original asking price will receive any sort of reimbursement.
This news comes ahead of the game’s new Cyber Showdown event. 343 has yet to provide any official details on the event, aside from the fact that it is also starting on January 18 to coincide with the shop changes.
No doubt the Cyber Showdown’s inclusion will bring new cosmetic bundles and such with it, which 343’s new price drops could make all the more appealing.
Halo Infinite is available on Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S,
