Halo Infinite is currently traveling up Steam’s revenue charts thanks to Master Chief’s very expensive armor.
As spotted by @Mr_ Rebs_ on Twitter, Halo Infinite has jumped up 47 spots on Steam’sGlobal Top Sellers Chart(by revenue) shortly after the release of the new Mark V armor cosmetic - which was inspired by Master Chief’s armor in Halo: Combat Evolved. At the time of writing,343 Industries' game is sitting at number 33 in the charts, next toGTA 5and Tales of Arises’s Beyond the Dawn expansion.
As reported byPC Gamer, the new cosmetic will set players back 2,200 in in-game currency for the full set, or $22. That might not sound too big of an ask if you’re a big fan of Halo: Combat Evolved, but it’s pretty shocking when you realize that you can purchase Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary, as in the game the armor comes from, onSteamfor much less than $22.
This isn’t the only nostalgic thing heading to Halo Infinite. In just over a week’s time on November 14, players will be able to revisit a bunch of Halo 3 maps in Halo Infinite including The Pit, High Ground, Isolation, Cliffside, and many more. You can find the full listhere.

After studying Film Studies and Creative Writing at university, I was lucky enough to land a job as an intern at Player Two PR where I helped to release a number of indie titles. I then got even luckier when I became a Trainee News Writer at GamesRadar+ before being promoted to a fully-fledged News Writer after a year and a half of training. My expertise lies in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, cozy indies, and The Last of Us, but especially in the Kingdom Hearts series. I’m also known to write about the odd Korean drama for the Entertainment team every now and then.
