Frequently asked

Do I need the original game to play Halo: Combat Evolved on PC?

What does "in progress" mean?

The project is still under way. Decompilation is long, manual work that rebuilds the game's source from its binary, and it can take years before a playable port exists.

Will Halo: Combat Evolved run on a low-end PC?

There is no playable build yet, so no performance measurement exists. Watch the repository.

When was Halo: Combat Evolved released?

The original game shipped in 2001, developed by Bungie and published by Microsoft Game Studios. This PC port is from 2023.

Which systems does it support?

The current release ships builds for Windows. The game originally shipped on Xbox.

Is it legal to use?

The project is public and open source, maintained by halo-re, and contains nothing from the commercial game. Responsibility for the game copy you use is yours — which is why the developers require you to supply your own.
