In the latest installment of the Halo Community Update on Halo Waypoint , there is the "obligatory mention of the Halo back-compat releases.""The Xbox back-compat team is hard at work on final polish and we continue to work closely with them and evaluate all four games for launch," reads the statement. "We're taking extra time to ensure the experience lives up to fan expectations but I hear we're making great progress and release should be getting closer."There is currently no planned release date for any of the games, but they are supposed to be coming out this year . In addition, the map packs for all four games will be free in order to keep the community together.These backward compatible games could be all the Halo you're getting for a while, as 343 Industries confirmed we won't be hearing about Halo 6 for "quite some time."
