Halo is one of the most popular and biggest Xbox franchises out there and Microsoft has a new offer for Halo fans looking to enjoy the popular franchise once again, offering a total of 12 Halo downloads. The offer comes with the Xbox Game Pass subscription and includes 11 Halo games and Halo Season 2 of the live-action adaptation of the franchise that was recently released.
This offer aims to bring players back to the franchise as well as the TV series, which has returned 2 years after Season 1 premiered. While this is an exciting offer for anyone, one that nobody would like to let go of, there is a catch that might not sit right with fans of the franchise.
Xbox Game Pass Brings the Ultimate Halo Experience
Xbox Game Pass already has the Halo games permanently available for the users subscribed to the service and is adding another experience with the offer of a 30-day subscription to the Paramount+ streaming platform.
Xbox announced this via Xbox Wire, but the catch is that the Paramount+ subscription is exclusively available for subscribers with top tier of the Game Pass, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.
Moreover, users only have until April 7, 2024, to claim the offer, May 10 to redeem it, and it requires Game Pass Ultimate. This exclusive offer can be claimed via the Perks section on Xbox consoles, the Xbox app on Windows PC, and the Xbox Game Pass application on iOS and Android devices.
After claiming, players will be able to activate the subscription and tune in to watch movies and TV shows available on the streaming platform including the new season of Halo for free. This special giveaway comes with the release of Season 2 of the Halo TV show, which has already premiered with two new episodes and now other episodes will be dropping weekly.
Halo Season 2 Is Already Doing Better Than Season 1
Season 2 of the series premiered on February 8 and continues the story of Season 1, where Master Chief John-117 leads his team against the Covenant, the aliens. The new season will have 8 episodes in total as compared to 9 episodes in Season 1. Season 1 of the TV show received mixed reactions due to various issues such as Master Chief being helmet-less, and more.
The sex scene towards the end of the season was also a point of debate among longtime fans of the series. The reviews for the two new episodes of the latest season have started to surface and it seems like the series gets more things right than Season 1, and fans are appreciating it. Season 2 of the show is currently at 94% on Rotten Tomatoes as compared to Season 1’s 70%.
The new season has a 76% audience score in comparison to last season’s disappointing 52%. Players are happy to see Master Chief and company back on screen, and it has been an exciting adventure so far. The latest season will continue into March with the first six episodes airing by March 7 and the last two episodes of the season releasing on March 14 and March 21.
