🟩 Xbox, Multi-platformAvatar Legends: The Fighting Game Delayed At Last Moment On Xbox
Hours before launching, the official Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game(https://avatar.fandom.com/wiki/AvatarLegends:TheFightingGame) account on X(https://x.com/avatarfighters/status/2080094735314677888) announced that the Xbox edition of the title isn't coming out today, July 23, as planned. Instead, it's now releasing on Xbox Series X|S sometime before September 3 because of "unforeseen circumstances on a backend feature." It's quite the last-moment delay, especially considering not even 24 hours ago the same account(https://x.com/avatarfighters/status/2080014303143383250) was promoting the game's launch. That's rough, buddy. The bad news doesn't stop with Xbox players, either. Cross-play isn't available on Switch yet, and the only localization option on the hybrid system is English currently. Meanwhile, the Deluxe Edition is also missing in action on Switch. All of these issues will be addressed at some point, though there isn't any sort of timeline officially revealed yet. https://twitter.com/avatarfighters/status/2080094735314677888 It's odd that these speedbumps weren't addressed earlier from Paramount Games for Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game, especially considering it's a real treat for fans(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/avatar-legends-is-a-real-treat-for-fans-if-you-can-overlook-the-rough-edges/). The title seems to really nail the characters from Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra. Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game is out on PC and PS5, alongside just the Standard Edition on Switch. The regular version of the title costs $30, while the Deluxe Edition retails for $50 and includes the Year 1 pass(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/all-the-major-fighting-game-announcements-from-evo-2026/) plus a digital art book. The DLC will introduce Iroh, Ty Lee, Lin Beifong, Bolin, and a voted-in fifth character. A Switch 2 version of the title is also in the works.

🟩 Xbox, Multi-platformHalo Remake Players On Xbox Who Paid More To Play Early Can’t
Halo fans on Xbox excited to dive into Halo: Campaign Evolved(https://www.gamespot.com/games/halo-campaign-evolved/) today as part of its early access period are currently severely disappointed, as an issue is preventing them from accessing the game despite paying extra money for the privilege. As pointed out by players on social media(https://x.com/MrRebs/status/2080310895314424184?s=20) (and independently verified by GameSpot), many (or possibly everyone) who purchased the Halo: Campaign Evolved premium edition or premium edition upgrade on Xbox or the Xbox PC app can't at time of writing access the game. Oops. The premium edition, which cost $70 as opposed to the normal edition's $50, is supposed to come with five days of early access. Campaign Evolved is also available on Game Pass, and users have the option to pay an extra $20 to "upgrade" to the premium edition and play early. Instead, players in both camps are being greeted with a message that states "You're too early." Halo Studios is aware of the issue, and in a post(https://x.com/HaloSupport/status/2080325392036970797?s=20) on social media from the official Halo Support account, stated it was "investigating reports that "some players on Xbox consoles and the Xbox app for PC who purchased the HaloCE Premium Edition or Premium Edition Upgrade are unable to access the game. "We will share updates as soon as more information is available. Thank you for your patience." https://twitter.com/HaloSupport/status/2080325392036970797?s=20 A glance at various Halo-focused social media accounts, or in the replies to official Halo posts, shows more than a few players are frustrated by the situation. Many point out that while Halo Support's message states that only "some" players are experiencing the issue, it appears to be everyone on the Xbox platform who purchased the Premium version. It's not a great start for Halo Studios' remake, especially since the game that is synonymous with the Xbox brand appears to be working great on PlayStation 5(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/after-25-years-halo-is-finally-on-playstation/). Halo: Campaign Evolved's Xbox early access blunder isn't the only pothole the remake has fallen into, with the game having previously caught flak for some of its gameplay changes (like the addition of sprint) and requiring players on PS5 to have both a PlayStation and Microsoft account to play local co-op(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/halo-fans-can-relax-campaign-evolved-wont-require-ps-plus-for-split-screen/). That hasn't stopped Halo: Campaign Evolved from being generally well-received. In GameSpot's 8/10 Halo: Campaign Evolved review(https://www.gamespot.com/reviews/it-feels-wrong-for-halo-to-feel-better-than-ever-on-ps5/), editor Jordan Ramée said the remake is "the best way to play through Master Chief's first game" and praised how its new prequel missions lead into Combat Evolved's original story. Halo: Campaign Evolved currently sports an 81 on review aggregate site Metacritic(https://www.metacritic.com/game/halo-campaign-evolved/). If you're planning on playing the latest Halo adventure with friends across different platforms, read up on how Halo: Campaign Evolved's cross-play(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/heres-how-to-play-halo-campaign-evolved-with-your-friends-across-xbox-playstation-and-pc/) works, as well as how long the game's campaign(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/how-long-is-halo-campaign-evolved/), including its three new prequel missions, lasts. Halo: Campaign Evolved launches for non-premium edition owners on July 28.
🟩 Xbox, Multi-platformMicrosoft Brings Ads To Xbox In A Big New Way, Promises No Gameplay Interruption
Microsoft has rolled out a test for its free, ad-supported version of cloud gaming. Select members of the Xbox Insider program can start testing this out today. As announced by Microsoft(https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2026/07/23/game-streaming-ad-supported-xbox-insiders/), ads play before people get into a session. The ads do not interrupt the gameplay experience like they might for ads on a TV or movie streaming platform. Sessions are limited to one hour per session, at least for now, as part of this early test version that supports games people already own. !(https://www.gamespot.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/xbox-1.png?w=636) The test allows people to play games for free, in exchange for watching ads. This is a limited-time test version of free gaming with ads, Microsoft clarified. The program was available internally to Microsoft employees last year, and now it's rolling out to the public for another round of tests. Microsoft said in its announcement that playing games like this, over the cloud, can help with the affordability crisis going on now in games. A new Xbox, after all, is more expensive than ever due to the memory and component issues. With cloud streaming, people who might still be playing on an Xbox One can play the newest games without having to buy any new hardware. They will, however, need to have a strong and reliable internet connection. "Advertising has existed in gaming for decades, from in-game placements to free-to-play models. But it hasn’t always been built with the player in mind. When done well, advertising can help lower the cost of access. It creates another way for players to get into games without an upfront streaming purchase and expands audiences through new ways to play," Microsoft said. Microsoft also outlined how it plans to handle advertising going forward with the following pillars: 1. We start with the player. Ads should create value. 2. We do not interrupt the flow of gameplay. 3. We hold ads to the same quality bar as our content. 4. We’re clear about what’s advertising. 5. We make sure ads fit what players expect on each platform. Microsoft also stressed that this is all entirely optional. People can bypass ads by subscribing to a paid tier of Xbox Game Pass. They can also buy games outright. "We’ll learn from this test and continue to improve it based on how players use it and what they tell us. Our goal is simple. Give more people more affordable ways to play," Microsoft said. There are hundreds of games playable via Xbox Cloud Gaming currently(https://www.xbox.com/en-us/play). However, people currently need to subscribe to Game Pass to stream them. The new ad tier will allow anyone, even if they don’t have a Game Pass membership, to stream select games in exchange for watching ads. An ad-based tier is no surprise, as Xbox’s Tim Stuart first hinted at it some time ago(https://www.windowscentral.com/gaming/xbox/xbox-game-pass-for-free-microsoft-is-experimenting-with-ad-views-for-access-to-hundreds-of-xbox-games). In August 2025, Xbox boss Jason Ronald teased an evolution of Xbox Cloud Gaming, saying on a podcast(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=biXDUvQByBw) that Microsoft was looking for a way to make the service “more affordable” and “accessible,” and adding an ad-based tier could be part of this. Microsoft is not alone in its pursuit of bringing more ads to gaming. Electronic Arts recently announced a program called EA Advertising(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/ea-announces-new-plan-to-launch-ads-directly-into-gameplay-after-working-on-in-game-ads-for-decades-already/) that seeks to bring more ads to EA games in ways that the company claims should feel natural. In other Xbox news, the company is going through a "reset" of the business currently(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/xbox-layoffs-studio-closures-and-spin-offs-everything-announced-today/), and this has included 1,600 layoffs so far and 1,600 more to come. Additionally, Microsoft divested of five studios and canceled some games. In the US, Xbox sales "more than doubled"(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/xbox-sales-more-than-doubled-in-june-2026-in-the-us-while-ps5-and-switch-2-dropped/) in June 2026 compared to June 2025.

Xbox Insiders can stream games from their libraries for free in ad-supported streaming sessions starting today.

🟩 Xbox, Multi-platformHalo Campaign Evolved review: one of the best remakes of all time
Halo: Campaign Evolved has set a new benchmark for video game remakes, as Master Chief's original outing is now in its ultimate form.
🎮 PlayStation, Xbox, Multi-platformIt Feels Wrong For Halo To Feel Better Than Ever On PS5
There's something that almost feels sacrilegious about playing Halo on a PlayStation console. The sci-fi shooter franchise feels quintessentially Xbox, and while you've been able to play Halo: The Master Chief Collection(https://www.gamespot.com/games/halo-the-master-chief-collection/) on PC with a DualSense controller, there's something extra odd with playing a version of Halo covered in a PlayStation-oriented UI and seeing PlayStation Trophies pop with every completed in-game accomplishment. And yet, despite how weird it is to be playing Halo on a PlayStation 5, it's still Halo. And so it's really fun. (https://www.gamespot.com/videos/halo-campaign-evolved-video-review/) Not to be confused with Halo: Combat Evolved, Halo: Campaign Evolved(https://www.gamespot.com/games/halo-campaign-evolved/) (because why would they make the title acronyms different and make things easier for me?) is a remake of the very first Halo, and it's also the first Halo game to be playable on one of Sony's consoles. Unlike the 2011 remaster Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary--which provided a graphical upgrade and added co-op gameplay and brand-new collectibles like lore-filled terminals and gameplay-modifying skulls--Campaign Evolved is a much more drastic transformation. !(https://www.gamespot.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/ssa05dce36b81730fcd2a4ddd4a1106cfcc74dbf0b.1920x1080.jpg?w=636) In the first Halo game, protagonist John-117, aka the Master Chief, awakens aboard a starship after it's been attacked by an alien alliance known as the Covenant. As a super-soldier called a Spartan, Master Chief is tasked with escaping the doomed ship with its artificial intelligence, Cortana, to a nearby moon-sized ring that humanity has never seen before. Cortana quickly learns that this ring, referred to as Halo, is important to the Covenant, and Master Chief sets out to learn what it is and why the Covenant want it, while also helping the various human survivors who made it to the ring's surface and are contending with Covenant forces. Developed in Unreal Engine 5, Campaign Evolved's visuals are a huge jump from 2001's Combat Evolved. And as the name suggests, the actual story campaign has changed too. There are three brand-new missions that take place one year prior to the events of the main story, the levels in the main story have been redesigned in certain sections in terms of both layout and mission objective, and brand-new cutscenes further flesh out the characters and stories with references that longtime fans will recognize are now early teasers for Halo 2. !(https://www.gamespot.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/ss2fe62cfaa7a8adb888e7ebade63d0b90f02d21d7.1920x1080.jpg?w=636) The gameplay has been overhauled too, implementing changes to make the first Halo play more like Master Chief's later adventures. Some of these changes radically alter how it feels to play the first Halo--like the ability to sprint, or aim down sights on all weapons--while others feel much smaller. A mechanic like vehicle hijacking was not added to Halo until the second game in the series, so its addition in Campaign Evolved is technically new, for example. But vehicle hijacking doesn't feel like an extraordinary game-changer because the number of times you have the opportunity to use it are few and far between. While the much larger (and visually gorgeous) environments, grander firefight arenas, and newly added "hold-the-line" encounters make for an altogether longer game to both explore and fight through, playing Campaign Evolved feels like the memory I have of playing Combat Evolved. The changes to the story and gameplay are noticeable to anyone who has familiarity with the first Halo, but the remake's adjustments don't feel like a complete departure from its source material. !(https://www.gamespot.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/sscc95b6f904e35874d7ebe088decda1f0d73a3738.1920x1080.jpg?w=636) If anything, Campaign Evolved makes the story of Combat Evolved feel more in line with the lore and overall story developed in the games, books, and animated series that were released after the first Halo. Everything is just better connected--bringing the Brutes into Halo 1 erases the confusion as to why they're in Halo Reach and Halo 2, but not the game that canonically takes place in between them, for instance. And Captain Keyes' daughter, Miranda, is also now mentioned multiple times, setting up her in-game introduction in Halo 2. The original Combat Evolved doesn't acknowledge her existence because she didn't exist when that game was made. But she's now a major part of Halo 2 and Halo 3 (as well as several books) so it makes sense that her dad would at least talk about her in Halo 1. Are any of these details crucial to the story told in the first Halo? No. Do these changes make the overall story of Master Chief's first game better flow into the second? Yes. !(https://www.gamespot.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/ss9470157e11a7b26c49236ed692cf822cb06fc1b4.1920x1080.jpg?w=636) The changes are so much better that Campaign Evolved feels like the new gold standard for playing through the first Halo--I'd recommend this over Combat Evolved Anniversary. Every change feels like an improvement on what came before. While the three new prequel missions don't rise to the same dramatic highs that make the main story of Combat Evolved so memorable, their inclusion does improve the overall experience and I recommend anyone who picks up Campaign Evolved play these new missions first (the game counts them as a separate story that you can choose to play at any point). !(https://www.gamespot.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/ss46706c1f09a3f69dcae90acb6914fe64a91b5d6f.1920x1080c8f02b.jpg?w=636) These new missions see Master Chief and fan-favorite Sergeant Johnson infiltrate a Covenant ship in an effort to find intel on the alien threat's main base of operations. The duo have fantastic back-and-forth that builds up their relationship in a way that Combat Evolved's story simply doesn't have time for because they're split up almost immediately, and even when they do reunite, they then both go off on their separate missions. Combat Evolved's story is a largely solo affair of Chief doing his best to help his human allies as he moves from place to place across the Halo ring, and Campaign Evolved remains faithful to that lonely-feeling journey despite supporting co-op. So having a chance to see Chief interact with a friend does a lot of the heavy lifting in characterizing him as an actual person. You see that he has a sense of humor and is fiercely loyal to others (aspects that aren't really explored until Halo 2). And seeing just how, daresay, shy he is with marines he doesn't really know brings the whole psychological toll of being a Spartan to the forefront of his character. That's something you don't really get at all unless you read the books, watch the intro or closing cinematics of Halo 4, or play Halo Infinite. !(https://www.gamespot.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/ss1b091bbe1ab1bbe85a0bf7acb51a97494d0f127a.1920x1080.jpg?w=636) These three prequel missions also just have a very Halo Reach feel (there's even a mission in space that isn't all that great in comparison to other sci-fi space battle games, but plays well enough to be a good time). The horrifying threat of the Flood, the mystique of the Forerunners, and the drama of AI rampancy feel so far away. In these missions, it's all about the ongoing galactic war between humanity's scrappiness and an alien threat's technological superiority. As Chief and Johnson do their best to keep each other motivated, navigate a Covenant nature preserve in which the aliens hunt human prisoners for sport, and gaze down upon a planet that has been transformed into glass after undergoing an orbital plasma cannon bombardment, you can just feel it: Humanity is losing. And unless they get a miracle, they'll go extinct. These missions lead so well into the main story of Campaign Evolved, establishing that humanity is on the backfoot. My one major qualm with these new prequel missions is that they introduce two new characters: a new Covenant prophet and a new human fireteam leader. Neither are very fleshed out, beyond "evil scientist is evil" and "rough and tough marine," and that feels like such a missed opportunity. Chief meets several prophets across the Halo games, and fights alongside tons of humanity's soldiers. Given how well these prequel missions flesh out Chief and Johnson's relationship, they could have done the same for Chief and an existing prophet or human ally. Instead they introduce new characters but don't have the time to give either one enough time to breath and evolve into nuanced individuals. !(https://www.gamespot.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/ss399c36cce5e186336f5a695545f1e80a562eb963.1920x1080.jpg?w=636) These two characters are not so bad that they ruin the story of these prequel missions, but they both feel like sci-fi tropes. Admittedly, Halo is filled with sci-fi tropes, but it also has some fantastic characters. So whenever a couple of duds pop up, they really stick out for how poorly characterized they are. Additionally, Campaign Evolved doesn't quite figure out checkpoints. The game's automatic checkpoints seem to trigger for a variety of reasons: reaching a specific spot in a level, killing a certain number of enemies in an area, leaving combat entirely, or some combination of the three. The logic for what counts and what doesn't isn't super consistent and seems to shift parameters moment-to-moment, leading to irritating setbacks--when it's not abundantly clear why getting defeated in one lengthy fight sends you all the way back to the beginning of it, while a defeat in the fight that had just occurred prior only sent you back a few seconds, it can feel like the checkpoint system is finicky at best and unfair at worst. This is a problem in both the main story and the new prequel missions, though I noticed it a lot more in the latter than the former. It's not so bad that I ever wanted to put the game down in frustration, but it's certainly annoying whenever it happens to pop up, especially if you're playing on one of the more challenging difficulties, like Heroic or Legendary. !(https://www.gamespot.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/ss4288a35884445fcf22f4fe7315944c376ecb1cf5.1920x1080ad2ce2.jpg?w=636) These issues aside, however, Halo: Campaign Evolved is awesome. And that's not surprising, simply because Halo: Combat Evolved is a fantastic game. There's a reason this story is a classic. Its explosive opening chapter plunges immediately into a series of desperate, high-action firefights that repeatedly reward your precise aim and strategic battle awareness with the sensation of being a heroic super-soldier. Humanity's weapons punch through flesh, while the Covenant's alien firearms and explosives satisfyingly melt enemy shields and paint the walls and floors with purple-blue plasma. For lack of a better word, the orchestral score is perfect, and I envy you if this will be your first time hearing it. And the main story's abrupt shift from a straightforward war between two civilizations into a desperate race by both sides to escape and contain a terrifying new threat that neither can handle is still as tense as it was back in 2001. It's still an odd sensation to be playing a Halo game on a PlayStation console. If you had asked teenage Jordan--the one who spent hundreds upon hundreds of hours laughing alongside their friends in Halo 3 and Halo Reach online multiplayer--whether Halo would ever make its way to a Sony console, they'd have told you it was impossible. Yet, here we are. And 25 years later, Halo: Combat Evolved's story is still really, really good.
🟩 Xbox, Multi-platformThe new Halo remake is a reminder of what Xbox used to be
It's impossible to talk about a new Xbox game without also talking about the state of Xbox. Microsoft's gaming division is in freefall: Recent headlines are dominated by extensive layoffs, decimated studios, and confusing strategies, most of which stem from years of bad decisions and expensive acquisitions. But it wasn't always that way. Through its &8230;
🎮 PlayStation, Xbox, Multi-platformAfter 25 Years, Halo Is Finally On PlayStation
It's a big day for Halo, as Halo: Campaign Evolved launches today, July 23, in early access(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/how-to-get-halo-campaign-evolved-early-access/). Beyond the excitement that normally surrounds the launch of a new Halo game, the release is especially notable because today will also be remembered as the day Halo finally came to PlayStation after more than two decades of console exclusivity on Xbox. The sci-fi series debuted in 2001 as a launch title for the original Xbox, and the franchise has been exclusive, at least on console, to Xbox ever since--until today. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6sUilTjOQ Why now? Why is Halo now, after all these years, finally coming to PlayStation? According to developers, the aim is to "bring players back together" and help the franchise reach new audiences. “There are people who have never been exposed to Halo. Maybe they’ve always been on Sony products, switched consoles at a certain point, or just missed it at the time. We want to bring players back together,” executive producer Damon Conn said(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/halo-on-ps5-we-want-to-bring-players-back-together-microsoft-says-about-remake/1100-6537490/). Creative director Max Szlagor added that, “Halo is best played when we have a large, healthy community.” Releasing Halo: Campaign Evolved on PS5 is a “way to grow, expand, and reconnect the Halo community,” Szlagor said. “We want to honor the Halo legacy on PlayStation, and we’re paving the way to expand our Halo universe–that’s how we see it,” Conn added. “And it’s not a small thing. We don’t, and we won’t, take it lightly. We definitely feel the weight of it.” Also, money That all may be true, but another factor at play here is money. Microsoft bringing Halo to PlayStation is also a way to make more money, and that's important for Xbox given how unhealthy the business is currently(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/is-xbox-fixable/?thumbnailid=1785763). Microsoft's new multiplatform strategy has already helped Microsoft generate hundreds of millions of dollars bringing its games to PS5(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/this-xbox-game-just-passed-300-million-in-revenue-on-ps5-report-says/1100-6537323/), so it's not surprising to see Microsoft bring another major franchise to a rival console. The pivot to releasing Xbox games on rival consoles came from the Phil Spencer and Sarah Bond days, and now that they are gone, new Xbox CEO Asha Sharma has suggested the company will return to more exclusives(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/xbox-clarifies-its-exclusivity-strategy-moving-forward-wants-you-to-buy-an-xbox/). Halo veteran Brian Jarrard said in 2025 that Halo games will be on PlayStation going forward(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/halo-games-will-be-on-playstation-going-forward-says-microsoft/1100-6535712/), so Campaign Evolved may not be the last Halo game on a Sony console. Whether or not Sharma and her team could change this, however, remains to be seen. What Halo games are coming next? Years ago, Microsoft announced that multiple new Halo games were in development at Halo Studios(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/multiple-new-halo-games-in-the-works-as-series-moves-to-unreal-and-343-gets-a-new-name/1100-6526938/), and they will be developed using Epic's Unreal Engine. Halo: Campaign Evolved is the only one that's been announced, but Halo 2 and Halo 3 remakes are reportedly also in the works(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/halo-2-and-halo-3-remakes-are-coming-report-says/1100-6539784/). Beyond those, a report said Microsoft is working on a new live-service Halo game(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/next-halo-game-may-be-like-fortnite-with-live-service-report/1100-6535547/). For more on Campaign Evolved, check out GameSpot's breakdown of how to play with your friends across platforms(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/heres-how-to-play-halo-campaign-evolved-with-your-friends-across-xbox-playstation-and-pc/). Campaign Evolved's early access starts today for people who buy the game's $70 premium edition. The standard edition ($50) unlocks on July 28. Game Pass members get the game with their subscription, but they can buy a $20 upgrade to the premium edition(https://www.gamespot.com/articles/how-to-get-halo-campaign-evolved-early-access/) to start playing today. Campaign Evolved is a remake of the original Halo, with improved graphics and features. It also includes new prequel missions. However, there is no multiplayer.
