Overview

  • Microsoft and Halo Studios confirmed at the Xbox Games Showcase on Sunday, June 7 that Halo: Campaign Evolved will launch July 28, 2026 on Xbox Series X/S, Windows PC (Steam) and PlayStation 5.
  • The game is a ground‑up remake built in Unreal Engine 5 with remastered 4K visuals, new animations, re-recorded voice work and a three‑mission prequel story called Operation: METEORITE.
  • Campaign Evolved focuses on the single‑player campaign with local two‑player split‑screen and up to four‑player online co‑op, but it will not include competitive PvP multiplayer.
  • Pre-orders are live in three editions — Standard ($49.99), Premium ($69.99) and Collector’s ($199.99) — with Premium and Collector’s buyers getting five days early access starting July 23 and Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass subscribers getting day‑one access on July 28.
  • Published PC specs show high requirements for 4K at 60fps including an RTX 4080 and 32GB RAM, while trailers captured on PS5 Pro and strong pre‑order demand have already driven notable reseller activity and public debate about Xbox’s platform strategy.
