As rumored earlier this week, Microsoft's Head of Xbox Game Studios Matt Booty posted an update on its commitment to PC gaming today, starting with a great piece of news for all Microsoft Store developers. Beginning on August 1st, the revenue share will be changed from 70% to 88%, thus matching the Epic Games Store in this regard and allowing game developers to retain a greater amount of revenue from their hard work.

Booty also revealed that Halo Infinite will feature crossplay and cross-progression functionality for its multiplayer modes, allowing PC gamers to play on Xbox One and Xbox Series S|X too should they desire it, with progress shared across all platforms. The executive went on to promise a 'premiere PC experience' for Halo Infinite, including support for ultrawide and super ultrawide screens, triple keybinds, a wide variety of advanced graphics options, and more.
