: Even OXM is (basically) saying Halo XBO is Halo 5.

It's called "Official Xbox Magazine" which is a great title, but how much apart of Microsoft are they? Their website shows they are published through Future. Wikipedia makes it seem like they are even owned by this company. The internet isn't helping me much on learning more about OXM.

Eitherway, if they're not owned by Microsoft, then that waters down how "official" their print is, including naming the next Halo "Halo 5" instead of "Halo Xbox One."

While I dont doubt the game will be called Halo 5, (It's not a bad title IMO), I do have doubts that the magazine company knows for sure from Microsoft/343 it's actual title.
