Xbox’s most popular action game on the PS5 has surprised players with a major free content update that adds a new way to play. Halo: Campaign Evolved is bringing back the iconic Firefight mode, details of which will be announced in due course.
Xbox’s Halo: Campaign Evolved free game update gives PS5 players a taste of a fan favorite mode
For the uninitiated, Halo’s Firefight is a fan-favorite four-player co-op player-versus-environment mode.
“For nearly two decades, Firefight has been a Halo favorite, challenging Spartans to team up, hold the line, and survive wave after wave of enemies,” Halo Studios announced. “The tradition continues this winter as we add the four-player cooperative PvE mode to Halo: Campaign Evolved in a free update. We’re kicking things off tonight at Xbox FanFest, where attendees will be the first to jump in and experience Firefight across new maps and armed with plenty of weapons to help even the odds.”
Halo Studios will share more details at the Halo Fest, which is scheduled to take place between December 12 and 13, 2026.
Halo: Campaign Evolved was released on the PS5 in July. The game costs $49.99 on the PS Store. A $69.99 Premium Edition is also available for purchase.
