Is your PC ready for Halo: Campaign Evolved? – System Requirements Released
Here’s what you need to run Halo: Campaign Evolved on PC
Halo Studios has released the PC system requirements for Halo: Campaign Evolved, which will launch on Steam and the Xbox Store next month. The game launches on July 28th on PC, Xbox Series X/S, and PlayStation 5, with Premium Edition purchasers receiving 5 days of Early Access.
Alongside a fully modernised remake of Halo: Combat Evolved’s campaign, the game will include a brand new three-mission adventure with Master Chief and Sgt. Johnson. Gamers will also be able to play the full campaign with up to four players with online co-op. The game’s campaign has been remade with high-definition visuals, updated cinematics, and refined level designs. The game can also include more enemy types, weapons, and other changes, with optional “skulls” modifiers, making it almost endlessly replayable.
Halo: Campaign Evolved PC System Requirements
As a current-gen only release, Halo Campaign Evolved demands modern hardware. The game’s minimum graphics cards are all DirectX 12 Ultimate GPUs, matching the hardware feature set of Microsoft’s Xbox Series X/S systems (which use AMD RDNA 2 GPUs). The game also demands at least 8GB of GPU memory (VRAM).
The good news is that even Nvidia’s RTX 2060 SUPER and AMD’s RX 6600 can run Halo: Campaign Evolved at 1080p 60 FPS. Not bad for such a graphically impressive game.
Minimum (1080p 60 FPS):
-
- Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system
- OS: Windows 11
- Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 or Intel Core i7-10700K
- Memory: 16 GB RAM
- Graphics: AMD Radeon RX 6600, Intel Arc A580 or Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 Super
- VRAM: 8GB
- Storage: 100 GB available space
Medium (1440p 60 FPS):

32GB of RAM is recommended?
At a minimum, PC gamers need 16GB of system memory to run Halo: Campaign Evolved, though 32GB is recommended. Note that 32GB of memory is more than double that of Microsoft’s Xbox Series X console, which must use that 16GB for both GPU and system memory. To put it simply, 32GB of system memory is overkill for all modern PC games. That said, it is possible that this game’s higher graphical settings on PC could be memory-hungry.
