Today, developer 343 Industries announced that Halo Infinite has crossed 20 million players. Yesterday, The NPD Group that tracks video game sales in North America, said that the first-person shooter was the best-selling Xbox game in December 2021 and the second best-selling game overall, regardless of platform, for the month.
Keep in mind that the 20-million figure takes into account those who played the free-to-play multiplayer component and the paid campaign. No breakdown of how many units the game sold around the world was provided during Microsoft"s quarterly earnings call today.
