Xbox is looking to celebrate Halo: Reach with the community later this month. After announcing that Halo games on the Xbox 360 will be sunset in December 2021, the community came together to create celebrations for its games. Recently, Xbox and 343 Industries voiced their support.
With Halo 3, Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary, Halo 3: ODST, Halo 4, Halo Wars, Halo: Spartan Assault, and Halo: Reach all going offline on the 360 by the end of 2021, fans joined forces to plan a Halo: Reach day on the Xbox 360. Things travel fast in the world wide web and word has gotten all the way to 343 Industries and Xbox, and their teams seem to be joining along.
The call was originally sent out on TikTok by user kayjayohpcs, who wanted those who still owned an Xbox 360 to join a big Halo: Reach session as a birthday gift for himself, and the official Xbox account posted a response. A community team member from 343 Industries wished KayJay a happy birthday from the Halo team, and then said he and the Xbox team could not wait to see everyone play Halo: Reach on March 13 at 5:00 p.m. EST on the Xbox 360.
Halo: Reach had one of the more memorable campaigns following the story of Noble 6, even if it did not star John-117, the Master Chief. The Halo: Reach multiplayer is unique thanks mainly to its armor abilities. The multiplayer map design was also new in that the levels were built right out of the campaign, which altered balance a bit. Forge mode was perhaps the best that Halo had ever seen, so the creations of the community were very special.
Halo: Reach is a part of Halo: The Master Chief Collection, a jam-packed bundle of games in one package that manages to work wonders after multiple years of patches and tweaks. Thankfully games like Halo: Reach will still be playable on the PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S once the 360 servers are shut down.
Even if the games are available on modern consoles, the nostalgia of an old Xbox 360 is strong. There will likely be a lot of players on March 13 at 5:00 p.m. EST, so here is hoping those old servers can handle the influx that is on the way. Although, in kayjayohpcs’ original request, he did hope that so many people would join in that the servers would crash. With Xbox and 343 Industries putting their names behind it as well, that is looking likelier all the time.
Halo: Reach is available for PC, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
