Halo Campaign Evolved
The Halo: Combat Evolved campaign rebuilt from the ground up — HD visuals, updated cinematics, four-player cross-play co-op and three brand-new missions. It's out now on Xbox, PC, Steam and PlayStation 5, and day one on Game Pass.
What Halo: Campaign Evolved is
A faithful but modernized remake of the original Halo: Combat Evolved campaign, developed by Halo Studios — not a new game, and not a remaster of the 2011 Anniversary edition.
The full CE campaign, rebuilt
All ten original missions with high-definition graphics, refined controls, enhanced cinematics and fully rebuilt sound design.
Three new missions
Operation: METEORITE — a three-mission story arc starring Master Chief and Sgt. Johnson, set before the events of Combat Evolved.
New ways to play
42 game-changing Skulls and the all-new Campaign Remix mode that reworks encounters across the campaign.
Co-op for up to 4
Two-player split-screen locally, or up to four-player online co-op with full cross-play and cross-progression across Xbox, PC, Steam and PS5.
