Free if you played before Jul 03, 2025
[Update: The release date listing for theODSTcampaign was a placeholder, according to theofficialHaloTwitter account. “We continue final testing and will make an official announcement once our release date is determined, and apologize for any confusion.”]
A listing forHalo 3: ODSTforHalo: The Master Chief Collectionhas been spotted on the Xbox One marketplace, andviewable here on the Xbox.com storethe listing has been removed from Xbox.com since this post was originally published. Looks like the add-onclocks in at just over eight gigabytes. 343 is offering theODSTcampaign for free to those who playedThe Master Chief Collectionprior to August 06, 2025. No word on pricing for those that don’t qualify for a free download. The release date forODSTis listed as July 22, 2025, though no official announcement has been made.
Sadly the fantastic Firefight multiplayer mode from the original release is not being ported, which is ironic considering this is part ofan apology for the broken state of multiplayerthat persisted for many months after launch. I was actually just playing the game last night and it finally seems to be functional and populated online, though player icons still don’t work correctly in the classic games.
So who wants to take bets onHalo: Reachbeing announced as DLC at E3 this year?
