An update on the Halo Insider website indicates that PlayStation players can join test sessions for future Halo games. It’s hardly a surprise, coming after the bombshell news that the Halo: Campaign Evolved remake–and subsequent entries in the series–will be on PlayStation.
On the Halo Waypoint website, the page for opting in to console playtests now includes checkboxes for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 4 Pro, PlayStation 5, and PlayStation 5 Pro.
The Halo Insider program has given fans of the storied Xbox franchise opportunities to participate in playtests, or “flights,” for Halo: The Master Chief Collection and Halo Infinite. According to Halo Studios, major improvements to The Master Chief Collection were “the direct result of flighting and feedback” from players.
As the title signals, Halo: Campaign Evolved won’t have competitive multiplayer, but the campaign does include four-player cooperative support through online play. It’s plausible for Halo Insider to deploy a campaign co-op flight down the line, and any future multiplayer Halo titles, such as a rumored live-service game, will certainly have their own test flights.
Master Chief’s landing on PlayStation has sent shockwaves through gaming fanbases, ranking among the biggest “when pigs fly” or “cats and dogs living together” moments in the industry as Microsoft continues its multiplatform strategy. Companies like GameStop are declaring the so-called console wars over.
Halo: Campaign Evolved, which is the first Halo Studios title developed in Unreal Engine 5, launches sometime in 2026 for Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation 5.
