Halo on PS5 Stumbles at Launch as Analysts Link Slow Start to Price and No Multiplayer

Analyst Rhys Elliott says Halo: Campaign Evolved has a notably slow PS5 start, with about 351,000 copies sold in July and 452,000 total on PS5 for roughly $28 million; Steam and Xbox sales are higher (roughly 212,000 and 900,000 respectively). The $50 price and lack of multiplayer are cited as contributing factors. The game adds three new prequel missions via Operation Meteorite, and while Halo titles are reportedly coming to PlayStation, the franchise’s momentum remains mixed as live-service plans and future releases evolve.
