On November 15th, Halo: Combat Evolved will celebrate its 25th anniversary and to commemorate the achievement, it's been officially announced that the iconic Xbox-exclusive title will be... coming to PlayStation? That's right, the Master Chief and Cortana will no longer be exclusively housed at Microsoft HQ, marking a huge milestone in the game franchise's history.
Halo: Campaign Evolved
Completely remastered, offering two-player co-op and four-player online cross-play, Halo's first entry is being given another polish and a new platform. Dubbed Halo: Campaign Evolved, the iconic sci-fi shooter will be storming PlayStation in 2026!
We’re going back to where it all began – the legendary campaign from Halo: Combat Evolved. This is the story that first introduced players to the Master Chief, a super-soldier leading humanity’s fight for survival, and Cortana, the AI who became his closest ally. It’s where we met the Covenant, an alien alliance waging war against humanity, and uncovered the mystery of the Halo ring – an ancient megastructure holding secrets that could change the fate of the galaxy.
Halo: Campaign Evolved has been rebuilt from the ground up to honor the original while modernizing the experience. The full campaign returns with every mission enhanced through high-definition visuals and all-new cinematics. We’ve also evolved the gameplay experience itself with smoother controls and movement, as well as improved wayfinding and combat flow. The soundtrack has been fully remastered, while the sound design has been rebuilt to deliver a more immersive experience.
What makes Halo special isn’t just the gameplay, it’s who you play it with. Bringing Halo to PlayStation means even more players can share in that experience. In Halo: Campaign Evolved, you can jump into four-player online co-op with friends or kick it old school with two-player couch co-op on your PlayStation- now with cross-play and cross-progression across console and PC.
A specific date has yet to be announced. You can read the full announcement over on the PlayStation blog.
