Halo: Campaign Evolved PC requirements revealed, RTX 4080 and 32GB of RAM required for 4K 'Ultra' settings

Halo: Campaign Evolved is set to launch on July 28, 2026, for XBOX Series X|S, PS5, and PC, and it's a full remake of the original game's campaign rebuilt in Unreal Engine 5. It's also set to expand on the story with three new campaign missions focusing on Master Chief and Sgt. Johnson, with all three given a spotlight at the recent XBOX Games Showcase.

From a visual perspective, it's a massive upgrade over the 2001 original, with more detailed characters, environments, and special effects. Microsoft's official store page for the game also mentions ray tracing; however, there's no word on whether this is limited to, say, shadows or will be all-encompassing and include an RTGI solution. Either way, with the release around the corner, we've now also got Halo: Campaign Evolved's PC requirements for playing the game at 1080p, 1440, and 4K with a smooth 60 FPS presentation.

Based on what we see, the game should scale well across a wide range of hardware, but Halo: Campaign Evolved will be demanding, as the Minimum spec calls for either a GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER or a Radeon RX 6600 graphics card. Interestingly, the specs list 4K 60 FPS with High settings as the Recommended spec, and for that you'll need a fairly powerful GPU, such as a GeForce RTX 3080 Ti or Radeon RX 9070.

Likewise, you'll also need a fairly decent CPU, with the Recommended spec calling for a Ryzen 7 770 or Core i7 12700K. The Recommended spec also lists 32GB of system memory, which is notable because most recommended settings ask for 16GB. Bump everything up to Ultra, and you'll need a GeForce RTX 4080, which is still one of the most powerful gaming GPUs. On the plus side, since the specs don't mention DLSS, FSR, or XeSS, these technologies could boost performance on lower-tier hardware while also lowering the barrier to entry for playing with the recommended settings.

Here's a breakdown of Halo: Campaign Evolved's PC Hardware Requirements.
