After an outcry from fans for its exorbitant price tags on the Halo Infinite store, 343 Industries has finally acknowledged the issue.
Announcing a series of changes over on Twitter, the studio’s head of design Jerry Hook says that items on the online shop will now be more accessible to fans. “We’ve been monitoring the discussions on the Shop, bundles, and pricing closely since launch,” the developer tweeted. “Using data and community feedback, we’re going to begin rolling out changes to how we package and price items in [Halo] Infinite – and it all starts next week.”
He continued: “Starting Tuesday, the Shop experience will vary week-to-week. We are focused on reducing prices across the board, providing stonger values in our bundles, starting to put individual items outside of bundles, and more.”
While no specific price ranges have been made official just yet, the changes will be arriving tomorrow, so those playing Halo Infinite should definitely be on the lookout for them.
