How To Get Halo: Campaign Evolved Early Access
Halo: Campaign Evolved will offer up to five days of early access to players who buy its Premium Edition. The article explains that this paid option is required even though the game will be available through Game Pass at launch, making it relevant to subscribers and pre-order customers deciding whether earlier play is worth the extra cost.
Early access begins on 23 July, ahead of the standard release on 28 July, and customers can still pre-order before release to gain immediate entry. The Premium Edition costs $69.99, while Standard Edition owners and eligible Game Pass subscribers can pay $20 to upgrade; it also includes the Foundry Armoury Pack, five Master Chief armour skins, six weapon skins, a digital artbook, short story and game manual.
In short
- Premium Edition owners can play up to five days early.
- Early access starts on 23 July.
- Game Pass users need a $20 upgrade.
Explained simply
Halo is a science-fiction video game series centred on Master Chief, a soldier fighting alien forces. Halo: Campaign Evolved is a new campaign game in the series, and its release offers players a choice between buying it or accessing it through Game Pass, Microsoft’s gaming subscription service.
The Premium Edition is a higher-priced version of a game that includes extra items or content. Game Pass subscribers and people buying the Standard Edition can also pay to upgrade, so the choice affects both the price and when players can start.
