Overview
Halo: Campaign Evolved launched July 28, 2026 with a Mark V armor style hub in the Customization menu. Styles swap your Spartan's look and, where noted, matching Assault Rifle finishes—without touching campaign balance.
Unlocked styles sync through cross-progression when your Xbox and Steam accounts are linked, so cosmetics follow the same Microsoft account you use to play. Open Main Menu > Customization to browse owned styles and apply them before or between missions.
- Hub — Mark V armor styles in the Customization menu
- Scope — armor finishes plus select Assault Rifle styles
- Cross-progression — linked Xbox / Steam accounts share entitlements
Silver Anniversary
Silver Anniversary is free for every player and unlocks automatically the first time you open Customization after launch. It celebrates twenty-five years of Halo with a commemorative Mark V armor style and a matching Assault Rifle finish.
No code or store claim is required—just sign in, load the game once, and check Customization. Standard, Game Pass, Premium, and Collector's owners all receive it on the same account entitlement.
- Cost — free for all players
- Unlock — appears in Customization on first play
- Includes — Mark V armor style + Assault Rifle style
- Theme — 25 years of Halo anniversary celebration

How to Redeem
Waypoint codes and claim links require the same Microsoft / Xbox account you use to play Campaign Evolved on Steam, Xbox, or PlayStation. Mismatched accounts are the most common reason a style never appears in Customization.
Visit halowaypoint.com, sign in, open Drops & Code Redemption, paste your code, and submit. For https://aka.ms/SandstoneAncient, follow the on-page claim button while signed in. Restart the game or wait several minutes if the style does not show immediately.
- 1 — Sign in at halowaypoint.com with your play account
- 2 — Open Drops & Code Redemption
- 3 — Enter the code or complete the claim link flow
- 4 — Launch Campaign Evolved and check Customization
