Due to development troubles and issues related to the current COVID-19 pandemic, 343 Industries and Microsoft have delayed Halo Infinite to 2021, removing the first-person shooter from the launch line-up of the Xbox Series X.

This delay is a major, major blow to Microsoft’s upcoming Xbox launch and has undoubtedly helped put Sony’s PS5 in a much better position come this holiday season.

With that being said, my Twitter explore page tells me that Halo Infinite and Xbox is trending, so let’s see everyone’s reactions and memes to the unfortunate news story today:

Hopefully the wait will be worth it.

You know what Kirkdawgg210, that doesn’t sound like a bad idea now.

Gotta love that shocked Pikachu face meme.

Twitter: Halo Infinite looks like garbage! How can Xbox release this at launch?

The PS5 is looking pretty nice right now. Have you all seen that Miles Morales trailer?

We love you too, Craig!

This really makes me happy to see. I'd much rather see this game get the development time it deserves. God bless everyone working on this team.

Halo: Infinite couldn’t just be good when it launched, or even great, it has to be amazing. The delay basically indicates that Microsoft didn’t think it was at the level it needed to be at for a major 1st party flagship game. Even at the cost of the Xbox Series X launch.

Dudes are going to use the Halo Infinite delay as ammo against Xbox but it's not like PS5's launch is much better. Its top title is an uplifted DLC game. Next-gen overall looking suspect.

Really hoping the upside to the Halo delay is that Xbox Series X consoles will now come with a "Halo Infinite: Hunters" demo cartridge
