343 Industries won’t be releasing Halo: Fireteam Raven on Xbox. At least, they won’t be anytime soon. According to the developers, there currently aren’t any plans to release the arcade game on any platforms. However, that doesn’t mean that that won’t change.
As 343 said: “There are currently no plans for release on Xbox or other platforms.”
Raw Thrills & Play Mechanix
Describing the game in a blog post, 343 Industries said:
“Halo: Fireteam Raven is a cooperative arcade sci-fi shooting game housed in a massive and imposing coin-operated arcade machine designed and built by Raw Thrills and Play Mechanix in close collaboration with 343 Industries. An enormous 130-inch, 4k screen experience and four turret-mounted, multipurpose machine guns allow four players to fight off alien enemies in frenetic, explosive combat.”
It should be noted that Raw Thrills and Play Mechanix made the game, not 343. Describing their relationship with the two, 343 said:
“Halo: Fireteam Raven was built by arcade legends Raw Thrills and Play Mechanix, collaboration with specific teams at 343 for story, art, and other franchise elements.”

Worldwide Release
The developers have said that the arcade game will land in North America first; after that, it will be released worldwide. However, they haven’t announced a release date yet. That being said, however, it’s expected that details will be released in the coming weeks.
343 just made sure the game was true to its roots. That being said, the plot of the game is canon. However, fans expecting something more recent will be disappointed; the game is set during the events of Halo: Combat Evolved. So, nothing new after Halo 5.
However, they are working on Halo 6. However, they haven’t given away anything new about that. Hopefully, more information about both games will come out soon.
