Halo 4-utvecklaren 343 Industries tycker att det skulle kunna finnas plats för mikrotransaktioner i Halo-serien, enligt Digital Spy. Studions Dan Ayoub poängterar dock att något sådant inte har diskuterats genom ordentligt ännu:
"I think Halo certainly has the potential for those kinds of things. We don't have too much to talk about in terms of our plans down that line, but it's certainly something ... we've seen the fans of Gears are enjoying, and if it's something we think our community is going to enjoy, it's something we'll seriously talk about."
Ayoub tar tillfället i akt och berättar (vagt) vad som ligger vid horisonten vad gäller DLC för Halo 4:
"Obviously our commitment is always that we're going to make sure there's something for people to do on Halo, whether it's playlists, or new maps or new content, something like that. We can't say too much about the specifics we're planning, but what we can say is we don't take that commitment lightly, and people should keep their eyes open for cool stuff."
