Game Pass Ultimate subscribers on Xbox and PC will gain full access to the game on the standard release date of July 28.
The global launch times are set by region to ensure a synchronized start for all players. In the USA, the game goes live at 8am PT and 11am ET.

VGC reviewer gave the game a perfect 5-star rating, highlighting its value for different player groups. The reviewer stated, “As an excuse for old fans to rediscover a classic, Halo: Campaign Evolved is irresistible. For younger players who didn’t get the chance to experience one of the best shooter campaigns ever, it feels even more essential.” This endorsement underscores the game’s broad appeal across generations of gamers.
