Epic campaign

The Master Chief saga continues, with solo and up to 4-player cooperative experience that spans three worlds. A mysterious and unstoppable force threatens the galaxy.

The Spartans of Fireteam Osiris and Blue Team must embark on a journey that will change the course of history and the future of mankind.

Warzone multiplayer

Play with friends, and compete against rivals in three massive multiplayer modes new to the Halo franchise: Warzone, Warzone Assault, and Warzone Firefight.

Warzone is a massive-scale multiplayer mode that supports 24-player battles with both friendly and enemy AI constantly dropping in to mix up the experience.

In Warzone Assault, it's 24-player attack-and-defend with the attacking team looking to overrun strategic objectives while the opposing force works to stop the onslaught.

Warzone Firefight is an ambitious new multiplayer experience that delivers a big Halo cooperative experience. Up to eight players work together to complete five rounds of increasingly difficult, dynamic objectives set against a timer to emerge victorious.

Arena multiplayer

Halo 5's Arena multiplayer continues the established franchise legacy of pure, skill-based 4v4 competitive combat.

Multiple Arena modes provide many ways to play and compete, from classic Slayer and Capture the Flag modes to popular social modes, such as Infection, Grifball, and the all-new Super Fiesta.

Forge

For years, Halo's Forge mode has empowered Halo fans to create new maps and game modes that have changed the way people play and experience Halo.

Download new levels from the Forge community created on either Windows (using Halo 5: Forge for Windows 10) or Xbox One. Customize existing maps, or create your own from scratch. Browse, find, and play an array of custom games created and hosted by the community.

REQ system

New to Halo 5: Guardians is the Requisition System (REQ System), which rewards players for their time spent in Halo 5's multiplayer modes.

Players will earn REQ Points after each match in Arena or Warzone, which can then be used to purchase REQ Packs containing a variety of REQ items in the form of unlockable weapons, armors, vehicles, stances, assassinations and more.

Playable on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S consoles
