Halo: Campaign Evolved Sales Estimates Put it at a Nearly 50-50 Split Between Xbox and PS5 Buyers
Halo: Campaign Evolved, the recently released Unreal Engine 5 remake of the campaign half of original Xbox killer app Halo: Combat Evolved, has sold 1.2 million copies across Xbox, PlayStation 5, and Steam, according to estimates from Alinea Analytics.
Halo: Campaign Evolved, a recent Unreal Engine 5 remake of the original Halo: Combat Evolved campaign, has sold 1.2 million copies on Xbox, PlayStation 5, and Steam, with sales estimated at around $67 million. According to Alinea Analytics, the split in purchases is roughly 42% on Xbox, 41% on PS5, and 17% on Steam. Halo analyst Rhys Elliott describes the sales figures as "soft," citing the high price point and lack of competitive multiplayer.
Elliott also notes that the PlayStation sales likely attracted an older, nostalgia-driven audience rather than a new one. Alinea's Rhys Elliott suggests that a Master Chief Collection release on PS5 with multiplayer included would have performed much better. IGN gave Halo: Campaign Evolved a 7 out of 10, praising its execution but feeling that the remake was unnecessary due to the absence of competitive multiplayer.
The lack of multiplayer was particularly noted by PS5 owners who hadn't experienced Halo's multiplayer.
