Overview

  • Xbox Wire and multiple outlets confirmed that Halo: Campaign Evolved will launch on July 28, 2026, with up to five days of early access beginning July 23 for Premium and Collector’s Edition owners.
  • The game will release on Xbox Series X|S, Windows PC (including Steam) and PlayStation 5 and will be included day one on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass.
  • Halo Studios rebuilt the original campaign from the ground up in Unreal Engine 5, added remastered 4K visuals, updated animations and audio, and included Operation: METEORITE, a new three‑mission prequel co‑written with Troy Denning.
  • Pre-orders are live in three tiers — Standard ($49.99), Premium ($69.99) with early access and digital bonuses, and a $199.99 Collector’s Edition with a Dark Horse statue — and early market response has pushed the game high on Steam’s best‑seller lists and produced reseller price gouging for the Collector’s Edition.
  • The release drops competitive multiplayer but supports two‑player split‑screen and up to four‑player online co‑op with cross‑play and cross‑progression, while PC requirements for 4K at 60fps list high‑end hardware such as an RTX 4080 and 32GB RAM, raising performance expectations for players.
