Halo series hits 65 million units sold

4.8

The Halo series has managed to sell 65 million units worldwide, Microsoft has announced.

Gamespot notes that’s up from the 60 million of October 2014, just before the launch of Halo: The Master Chief Collection.

I don’t think we ever got solid sales figures for Halo: The Master Chief Collection, but we can probably assume it’s a fair chunk of that 5 million uptick – especially as it’s bundled in with some Xbox One consoles.

Ongoing legacy sales of Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary Edition, Halo 3, Halo: Reach, Halo 4, Halo 3: ODST Campaign Edition, Halo Wars and newer efforts like Halo: Spartan Assault will also have contributed.

Halo 5: Guardians launches in October and will probably bump that figure up to 70 million within a few months – although there are plenty of fans still hurting over Halo: The Master Chief Collection, waiting to see how launch goes before committing. Let’s hope Microsoft learned its lesson.

This is pretty impressive, I wonder if this number could have been double what it is if it wan't an xbox exclusive. I mean a comparable game in terms of popularity is Call of Duty and they sold 175 million but thats over like 4 different platforms. It a lot of games sold, and this number will rise at greater rated here in the coming years I think.

Pryzel That's absolutely crazy amount, fairplay to them for selling that much.

Yeah seems like a lot of people love this game. I never got into it.

That's a hell of a milestone. I remember back in 2006, Halo was all I played.

IMO well deserved with all those copies. Unlike COD the franchise has continued to impress me with every game they have ever made. A big congrats to them.

That is very hard to imagine. Just thinking that that many people could be playing this franchise for this long of a time is amazing.

That's insane no doubt the recent xbox summer sale increased sales tremendously in a recent spike, although hopefully MCC didn't deny Halo 5's future.

60 million of those are because of Bungie.
