The year 2020 is about to end and for some, it’s time to make good resolutions. On the Microsoft side, the decision was taken to close all the servers running all Halo games on Xbox 360. But rest assured, the shutdown will not be effective for a year, since it is in December 2021 that the multi of titles concerned will cease to be in activity. Even if this is very sad news for many players, for 343 Industries (the studio that took over the license after Bungie), it is time to turn the page, especially since the release on PC and Xbox One from the Halo: The Master Chief Collection compilation can also act as a subtitut. However, it should be noted that users will still be able to play these games, since certain features and online experiences such as online matchmaking will be disabled. And to go through with the process, be aware that the digital versions of these Xbox 360 games will no longer be on sale from January 1, 2021.
Another important point: if you play all these games backwards compatible on Xbox One and Xbox Series S | X, it will obviously no longer be possible to play them online, of course.
Here is the full list of Halo games on Xbox 360 that are affected:
– Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary
– Halo 3
– Halo 4
– Halo OSDT
– Halo Reach
– Halo: Spart Assault
– Halo Wars
