Lee responded that “Halo Infinite” was developed to run well on "all Scarlett devices." Project Scarlett or simply Scarlett is the internal name used by the team to refer to the Xbox Series X. While the game executive does not mention the name Lockhart or Xbox Series S, fans and gamers were quick to speculate that Lee’s use of words might have revealed one of Microsoft’s secrets.
