Halo Campaign Evolved is believed to have sold an estimated 1.2 million copies in its first two weeks of sales, generating up to $67 million in gross sales revenue.
New data estimates from Alina Analytics show that the latest Halo CE remake has achieved high platinum sales in its first two weeks of availability. On a platform level, sales of the Halo game are split with 42% Xbox (console & Windows), 41% sales on PlayStation, and 17% on Steam.
Naturally, many more Xbox users chose to access the game via subscription. The firm also estimates that 2.1 million people accessed Halo Campaign Evolved via Xbox Game Pass. Nearly a third of these users, roughly 600K, paid the extra $20 to upgrade to the premium version for the 5-day early access and bonuses.

If this data is accurate, then Halo's debut on PlayStation didn't lead to thunderous multi-million sales in its first few days...or within the 2-week period. This could underline the potentiality of the Halo brand.
This is interesting data to say the least because it helps frame and quantify recent trends around gaming. Halo Campaign Evolved was part of a recent string of games that illustrated a new pricing trend.
Data indicates that gamers are ready and willing to pay more for high-priced versions of games. This tolerance threshold reflects the new push to $80 pricing for games, as well as GTA 6's now-famous $100 edition. Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick recently confirmed this trend to be true, at least for GTA 6.
Halo CE was one such game included on this list and its $70 premium version was ranked higher than the $50 base version on the PlayStation Store across multiple geographies.
