This is the news you've been waiting for! Xbox boss Phil Spencer has revealed what he thinks of the Halo Infinite "Craig the Brute" meme, even going as far as to call him "our new official Xbox mascot!"
If you're wondering what this whole "Craig the Brute" thing is all about, the meme originates from last week's gameplay reveal of Halo Infinite, originally used to highlight an example of the demo's supposedly poor visuals. But the Brute has since been embraced by the Halo community, and now even the head of Xbox himself:
Halo Community Director at 343 Industries Brian Jarrard even went as far as to confirm this "poor deadpan Brute" is officially called Craig now, so it looks like it's set in stone! Let's just hope all the attention doesn't go to his head...

Phil is always so classy..
Very friendly and light hearted community.
He's basically a bald gorilla now I think about it.
@Medic_Alert
We finally agree on something. 😉
@Bmartin001
In Phil I trust. 👍🏻
There needs to be a Craig skull to find in the game.
OR if they bring back terminals..... have one tell the complete backstory about Craig’s life as a Brute. His struggles in Brute life all up until the point where he takes a shotgun melee attack to the face from Master Chief. 😂
Its obvious they re-used some assets but which dev doesnt.
He has taken the ribbing and twisted in to some classy marketing. I like it.
Would have been lost on Greenberg....
@KelticDevil I don't actually want to kill Craig the Brute now lol. Damn you internet!
