With Halo: Campaign Evolved's early access period set to kick off on July 23, you may be wondering just how to enable cross-platform play so you and your fellow Spartans can kick grunt butt across PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. Well, the process is actually super simple, so let us break it down for you right here. As outlined in a July 22 blog on the Halo Waypoint site, playing this Halo remake with your friends is easy. All you have to do is know their Gamertag or Username, search for and add it to your Xbox friends list--either on the Xbox site, from the Xbox Game Bar, or in the Xbox mobile app--then add them to your party from the "Cross-Platform Friends" list of the "Play Co-op" menu when they're online. And just like that, you're playing Halo: Campaign Evolved with your friends on a platform other than an Xbox. Weird times we're living in, but it really is that simple. It's worth noting that you don't get immediate access to Halo: Campaign Evolved's early access just by buying the game. As is customary with these sorts of things, you’ll need to preorder the $70 Premium Edition to get into the early access pool. If you have preordered the $50 Standard Edition, you can upgrade to the Premium Edition to gain early access, but that will run your wallet $20, bringing the total to the Premium Edition price. And if you got it via Xbox Game Pass, you can upgrade to the Premium Edition for $20. Preordering either version nets you the Foundry Armory Pack, which comes with legendary looks for Master Chief's iconic Mark V Mjolnir armor. Opting for the Premium Edition comes with some extra goodies, though, such as a digital artbook and short story, as well as the game manual and five additional Master Chief armor skins and six weapon skins. Halo: Campaign Evolved will launch on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S on July 28--and it's a day-one release on Xbox Game Pass. Be sure to check out the release times so you can be ready for when the game officially comes out.

BlizzCon 2026 is shaping up to be a major moment for the house World of Warcraft built, but even if you won't be in attendance, Blizzard will still let you buy all kinds of cosmetics to celebrate the occasion. Though BlizzCon this year isn't until September 12, players can buy digital BlizzCon bundles for all of Blizzard's major live-service games right now. Those lucky enough to have a BlizzCon ticket will get every bundle for free. Each bundle individually costs $25 or $30, but snagging the BlizzCon Ultimate Collection bundle, which includes every individual bundle plus a few extras for each game, is $50. If you sink a significant amount of time into more than one Blizzard game and are keen on buying at least two bundles, the Ultimate Collection definitely seems like the way to go. BlizzCon itself will be free to watch from home, and Blizzard is offering a 15-day co-op boost for StarCraft 2 and a new Heroes of the Storm Thrall skin as freebies to all players. The bundles will be available until September 28. Below is a full breakdown of what is included in each available bundle: World of Warcraft BlizzCon Bundle ($30 USD): Rabbit’ath Flying Mount, Garb of the Dawnfire Phoenix Transmog Ensemble, and the Perch of the Dawnfire Phoenix Decor. Overwatch BlizzCon Bundle ($30 USD): Lich Queen Mei Legendary Skin, Frostmourne Ana Weapon Skin, Lichimari King Weapon Charm, and Lich Queen Mei Spray. Diablo IV BlizzCon Bundle ($30 USD): Streamsnout Pet, Indigo Cat Mount, and Escapeproof Armor Mount Armor. Diablo Immortal BlizzCon Bundle ($25 USD). Rimedarter Familiar Transmog, Seekers of Riddergrove (Violet) Portal, 20 Legendary Crests, 10 Telluric Pearls, and a Mother’s Lament 2-Star Legendary Gem. Hearthstone BlizzCon Bundle ($25 USD). Bloodmage Thalnos Signature Legendary Card, Blade of the Black Empire Card Back, and 5 Standard Card Packs. BlizzCon Ultimate Collection Bundle ($50 USD). Everything from the five individual digital bundles, plus a World of Warcraft Murk’atath Pet, an Overwatch Lich Queen Mei Player Icon and Name Card, Diablo IV Indigo’s Light Trophy and Indigo’s Master Trophy, a Diablo Immortal Astral Celebration Portrait Frame, and five additional Hearthstone Standard Packs. Blizzard president Johanna Faries has said 2026 will be Blizzard's "biggest year yet," with BlizzCon having a major role to play. "I have total confidence that the teams are going to come very, very big, both with the heart and soul of what I think our core-most fans long for in a BlizzCon, but also bringing some very new things to the table," Faries said. What announcements are in store remains to be seen, but players can expect major news about the future of World of Warcraft, Diablo 4, and Overwatch. Persistent rumors have also pointed towards the reveal of a StarCraft shooter. If an alleged leak is to be believed, Blizzard could also surprise fans with new games and shows set in the Warcraft universe.

Special bundles for Blizzard's various games will be available during the biggest weekend of the publisher's year.

If there’s one thing I find a bit rough about the Steam Machine, it’s the price. While it’s a far more accessible way to get a PC gaming experience without the hassle of building a computer yourself, the current price of gaming hardware makes it a hard purchase to recommend. However, if you told me you got the 2TB model for just $1, I’d probably cry with excitement for you, with just a dash of disappointment that it wasn’t me. Fortunately, the idea of me crying isn’t so ridiculous. With Fanatical’s new Mystery Vault Bundle, anyone - you or I included - could win the coveted Steam Machine, along with the new Steam Controller. That package is worth $1,400, and winning it for just $1 would earn you bragging rights for years to come. You’re not paying solely for a chance to win the Steam Machine, though. Every purchase of the Mystery Vault Bundle also includes Steam keys, ranging from overlooked games to AAA classics, all selected at random to help fill out your Steam library. Even if you don’t win the grand prize, you’re still getting a selection of games at a hefty discount. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPNW3GCIeOM The bundle also includes Golden Vaults, $1,000 instant-win prizes filled with recent games and, as a new addition, physical merchandise. You could win copies of Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight and Invincible VS, alongside a Doom: The Dark Ages hat. If that doesn’t sound like a worthwhile prize, I’m not sure what does. Personally, I’ve picked up Fanatical’s mystery bundles several times, and while I’ve never landed one of the biggest prizes, I’ve always come away with something worth playing. I’ve discovered games I probably would have skipped otherwise and found plenty of recommendations for friends looking to expand their libraries without spending much. For me, the game discovery is the real appeal - the prizes are just a bonus. Keys start at just $1 / £1, but the more you buy, the more you save. If you opt for 25 keys, you’ll pay just $16.99 / £16.99, and larger bundles guarantee no duplicate keys. That works out to just 68 cents per game. It’s hard to think of many better-value PC gaming deals, so if you fancy taking a chance, the Fanatical Mystery Vault Bundle could even land you a Steam Machine once the prize draw appears at checkout. Oh, and there’s also a chance to win a Steam Deck OLED or a PlayStation 5. If luck is on your side, you could end up with a seriously upgraded gaming setup. I’m only a little jealous of whoever wins.

PlayStation Plus has gotten several new games throughout the month, but as expected, several of them are also set to leave the subscription service's Game Catalog for Extra- and Premium-tier subscribers. In total, there'll be nine games exiting PS Plus on August 18, so you've only got a few weeks left to check out a fun zombie apocalypse adventure, a JRPG with an elegant hand-drawn art style, and one anime-inspired game that knows exactly who its target market is. Here's the full list: PlayStation Plus Game Catalog games leaving on August 18 Bomber Crew (PS4) Clash: Artifacts of Chaos (PS5, PS4) Dead Island 2 (PS5, PS4) Earth Defense Force 6 (PS5, PS4) Harold Halibut (PS5) Onee Chanbara Origin (PS4) Roki (PS5) Space Crew (PS4) Unicorn Overlord (PS5, PS4) Dead Island 2 is the highest-profile exit for next month, and if you haven't checked it out yet, then you've missed out on a fun sequel. Stuck in development hell for several years, it eventually released on PC and consoles in 2023. Surprisingly goofy, extremely violent, and full of a surprising amount of character buildcrafting, it's a fun experience that has a great balance of action and survival. The other game you'll want to check out is Harold Halibut, especially if you've been craving an old-school point-and-click adventure. Harold Halibut wears that influence on its sleeve, and it also looks incredible thanks to the years of work that went into crafting its unique characters and world. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GESXM0lVDp0 While those games won't be around for much longer, you can grab three games right now if you're subscribed to any tier of PlayStation Plus--Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, For the King 2, and CrossCode. For members of PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium, the Game Catalog has already expanded with five games this month, including Rise of the Ronin, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, and Dying Light. Two more games are arriving on July 28--Sony now does weekly Game Catalog drops for US, UK, and Japanese subscribers--and Premium-tier subscribers can also download two PlayStation Classics next week in the form of Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy and Indigo Prophecy. Next week will also see Sony reveal the next batch of free games for all PlayStation Plus subscribers in August, so don't forget to check in to see what they are ahead of their arrival on August 4.
