Halo Campaign Evolved has launched in early access, revealing both technical challenges and improvements. The game, built on Unreal Engine 5, runs well on most setups, but its minimum system requirements demand a 16 GB RAM and a capable GPU, making it hardware-dependent.178
The minimum system requirements include:
OS: Windows 11 (64-bit)
Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 / Intel Core i7-10700K
Memory: 16 GB RAM
Graphics: AMD Radeon RX 6600 / Intel Arc A580 / Nvidia Ge-Force RTX 2060 Super
Storage: 100 GB available space
For optimal performance, the recommended requirements are even steeper, necessitating a 32 GB RAM and a flagship-tier graphics card.
Players initially faced a bug where the game launched into a digital art book instead of the main game. A fix was confirmed by the Halo team shortly after reports surfaced, requiring only a Steam client restart.
In terms of graphics, the early access revealed significant differences in image scaling algorithms. DLSS technology outperforms TSR, eliminating flickering and enhancing clarity, while also providing a performance boost of over 40% in frame rates. This makes NVIDIA's DLSS the preferred choice for players using GeForce RTX graphics cards.
Overall, while the game shows promise, its steep requirements and initial bugs may limit accessibility for some players.
“The art book bug, which caused Steam to launch the digital art book instead of the game, was fixed within 40 minutes after being reported on Reddit. The game demands at least 16GB RAM and 8GB VRAM even on low settings, making it inaccessible for many older systems.”
