so i just found out that halo: campaign evolved isn't doing as well as expected, and honestly, it's not that surprising to me. the game has only sold around 1.2 million copies across pc, xbox series x|s, and ps5, which is pretty low considering it's a remake of the original halo campaign. it's also available on xbox game pass, but even that hasn't seemed to boost sales too much, with only around 2.1 million players checking it out through the subscription service.
one of the main reasons for the lukewarm sales seems to be that halo: campaign evolved is competing with another halo game - specifically, halo: the master chief collection. this collection offers way more value for money, with multiple halo games, including a 2015 remake of the first game, and even multiplayer options. it's hard to justify spending $50 on a single, somewhat barebones game when you could get a whole collection of halo games for just $40. i mean, sure, halo: campaign evolved has some shiny new graphics and extra co-op missions, but it's just not enough to tempt people away from the master chief collection.
it's also worth noting that the price of halo: campaign evolved might be a bit too high for what you're getting. the game is essentially a port of an older game with some updated graphics, and that's not really enough to justify the cost. plus, a lot of people already own the master chief collection, so they're not going to be tempted to buy another, more expensive version of the same game. on ps5, the game has sold around 544,000 copies, which is actually pretty impressive considering the console has a larger userbase than xbox. but even on ps5,Read more: Full article on www.gamespot.com
