Halo: Combat Evolved Remade for Xbox, PC, and PlayStation in 2026
Microsoft has revealed a significant shift in its gaming strategy. In 2026, the original 'Halo: Combat Evolved' will be remade for Xbox Series X/S, PC, and for the first time, PlayStation. This marks the end of the 'Console Wars', according to the Official White House Rapid Response X account, which shared an AI image of Donald Trump as Halo's Master Chief.
The remake, titled 'Halo: Campaign Evolved', is part of Microsoft's and Xbox's decision to embrace a cross-platform gaming model. This strategic move aims to make future Halo titles available on multiple platforms, including PlayStation 5. The Entertainment Software Association had previously warned about the impact of Donald Trump's tariff implementation on the games industry. Following his executive order in 2023, Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft announced global price hikes. Gamestop has since declared the end of the 'Console Wars' in light of Halo's upcoming release on PlayStation.
The release of 'Halo: Campaign Evolved' on PlayStation in 2026 signals a new era in gaming. Microsoft's and Xbox's decision to go cross-platform is set to reshape the industry, bringing iconic titles like Halo to a wider audience.
