1 articles · Updated · Push Square · Jun 15

Summary

  • Halo: Campaign Evolved has climbed to the top of PS Store pre-order charts in several European markets ahead of its July 28 PS5 debut.
  • The strongest demand is in the UK, France and Germany, where either the standard or Premium edition already ranks No. 1; in the US, the Premium edition sits seventh.
  • US rankings still place Halo behind multiple versions of Madden NFL 27, EA Sports College Football 27, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 and Marvel’s Wolverine.
  • Interest could rise further as Microsoft reveals more details, including last week’s confirmation that the full campaign can be played in third-person.
  • The early sales momentum adds weight to Microsoft’s push onto PlayStation even as it sends mixed signals about future Xbox ports and faces scrutiny over Xbox’s performance.
