Halo, Microsoft’s most iconic game series, is coming to PlayStation for the first time ever. While the series isn’t as popular as it once was, Halo has always been closely tied to the Xbox brand, making this announcement a surprising turn of events that few would have predicted just a few years ago.
Halo is coming to PlayStation 5 with the newly announced remake of the original Halo: Combat Evolved. Currently planned for a 2026 release on PS5, Xbox, and PC, the game will include new story missions that take place before the original, split-screen multiplayer, updated weapons, and improved graphics and sound. You can find more details about Halo: Combat Evolved in the latest news from TopMob.
Halo isn’t the only popular Microsoft game now available on PlayStation. Gears of War appeared on the platform earlier this year with ‘Gears of War: Reloaded,’ and Forza Horizon 5 also made the jump. Microsoft Flight Simulator 24 is set to release on PS5 this December, continuing this trend.
Microsoft revealed a new plan earlier this year to release some of its popular game franchises on consoles that compete with Xbox. For years, these games were exclusive to Xbox, but the change appears to be driven by a company goal to increase Xbox’s profitability.
Microsoft has been having success releasing games on PlayStation, with titles regularly appearing among the best-sellers. Recently, Xbox president Sarah Bond stated that the concept of exclusive games feels outdated. She explained that modern gamers expect to be able to play major titles on any platform they own.
While Microsoft isn’t keeping all its games exclusive to Xbox anymore, Xbox users often get to play new games first. A good example is Forza Horizon 6, which will be available on Xbox consoles in 2026 before being released on PlayStation at a later date.
It wasn’t a shock to hear Halo is coming to PS5. Rumors and leaks had been circulating for months, so most gamers had already expected the announcement.
