Halo: Campaign Evolved joins the wider Halo line up as a campaign focused entry, landing on Xbox consoles and PC via Xbox Game Pass. It sits in the same space as other big, story led shooters on the service, competing for your time with long form single player campaigns and co op friendly action. If you already dip into Game Pass for day one releases, this is pitched as a play it on launch kind of drop, with the option to pre order if you prefer owning outside the subscription.

Who is this for?

If you care most about narrative missions, set piece firefights and replaying levels for better runs, this is the Halo flavour that makes sense. Game Pass members can jump in without buying outright, which suits anyone who likes trying new releases and moving on. If you want to keep access long term, pre ordering can make sense once you know it is a campaign you will revisit.

  • Release date: playable from 28 July
  • Platforms: Xbox and PC (via Game Pass)
