Here's the Halo: Campaign Evolved release time for your region
Step back onto the ring 25 years later.
The Halo: Campaign Evolved release date is imminent. Those who spent extra on the premium edition have been playing for the last five days, which, as someone who's completed the whole thing, and seen the somewhat gaudy skins you also get, I can't say I necessarily recommend for the cost.
Especially when the game is also coming to game pass day one, giving you an even cheaper way to play through the whole thing. You can also get some skins just for preordering. Below, I'll explain the regular release date and time for Halo: Campaign Evolved now premium access is coming to an end.
Halo: Campaign Evolved release times
Halo: Campaign Evolved releases for everyone on July 28, but the good news is that the release times are exactly the same as the early access ones, just five days later, so:
- West Coast US: 8 am PDT
- East Coast US: 11 am EDT
- UK: 4 pm BST
- Europe: 5 pm CEST
- Australia: 1 am AEST (July 29)
If you're unsure as to whether you can run Halo: Campaign Evolved or you want to compare any of the different edition benefits, you can find all the info on Steam.
Can you preload Halo: Campaign Evolved?
Yes, preload for premium and collector's edition holders—so those who've been playing since July 22—went live previously, and now owners of the regular edition should also be able to preload before release later today.
