About This Game
Halo Wars: Definitive Edition is an enhanced remaster of the classic real‑time strategy title Halo Wars, built for native PC performance.
Taking place in the early stages of the legendary conflict between the UNSC and the Covenant — a conflict widely known from the Halo first‑person shooter series — the game offers a fresh perspective on this large‑scale war and introduces brand‑new heroes to the battlefield. Players take command of massive Halo‑universe military forces and lead them through fast‑paced, large‑scale combat.
This definitive release features upgraded visuals, brand‑new unlockable achievements, and all downloadable content from the original landmark release. Players can dive into the sweeping single‑player campaign, or take part in online multiplayer matches, commanding powerful Halo factions in competitive battles.
Online multiplayer for this title is Steam‑only. Cross‑play with the Windows Store version of the game is not available.
