Yup. Simultaneous, worldwide unlock.

Other than the initial 20gb or so, no preload until 6pm?

Edit: about 26gb more to download if you have MP installed already. That’s not too bad.

Sorry, just seen this is a consoles thread, post deleted

No preload, servers are going to get HAMMERED at 6PM, good luck getting to play it tonight.

Does it show as 1 file in my games and apps?

Was wondering how it worked if you already have mp installed.

Campaign will be listed as an addon I imagine.

Thats good hopefully, would be a bit odd having to 2 game files in my games and apps otherwise.

I was a bit apathetic to this but quite looking forward to trying the campaign after seeing all the glowing reviews. Problem is I haven't played a Halo game since Reach so I might not have any idea what's going on now.

The story is pretty naff anyway so you’re not missing out.

It follows on directly from Halo Wars 2 though so even playing the FPS games won’t fill you in.

Seems unlikely doesn’t it. Download speeds will be pathetic. Flight simulator was bad enough and this would surely be more popular.

Any reason why I cant see the campaign on my Xbox, the multiplayer is there but everytime I click the campaign its asking me to pre-order / buy the game ?

Thought it was free on gamepass ?

Now doing a system update.

Cheers all

Need to wait until 6pm…

Ah thanks very much & I left off work early too

KraniX · 8 Dec 2021 at 17:55

I thought odd no preload on a first party game of this size.

For those with super fast speeds it's probably not much of an inconvenience, but for those with awful speeds not being able to pre install could be a real disappointment.

Especially weird as on the Game Pass app there is the option to pre-install... It just doesn't work.

CaptainRAVE · 8 Dec 2021 at 18:03

4gb? I was expecting more?

MOOGLEYS · 8 Dec 2021 at 18:03

Update is live 3.97GB…….

Enjoy….

MOOGLEYS · 8 Dec 2021 at 18:05

Another 22GB when you launch the game….

Getting a nice 9mbps….. Yipee

The speeds I’m getting it could take a while to even get there. I think I’ll have dinner at that point!

MOOGLEYS · 8 Dec 2021 at 18:17

Mine just jumped up to 800mbps. Bet it does not stay that way…
