Halo 5 App Launched, Special Emblem Awarded for Downloading

Ahead of Halo 5: Guardians‘ release later this year, Microsoft has released a version of the Halo Channel news and information app for iOS and Android devices. The free app is available now on iTunes and Google Play. A Windows Phone version will launch later this month when Windows 10 arrives.

Halo Channel for mobile devices sounds similar to the Xbox One and Windows 8 PC version that launched last year. The app aims to help Halo fans stay up-to-date with the extended Halo universe, offering news posts, original programming, and details about competitive gaming events.

In addition, Microsoft has announced that everyone who watches a video (just one) in the Halo Channel app will receive a “Promotional REQ Pack” for Halo 5. This includes a “special emblem” for the upcoming game.

People who have already watched Halo Channel videos on Xbox or PC aren’t being left out in the cold, as they will also receive this REQ Pack without any further effort on their part.

The Halo 5 emblem will be delivered to players when the game launches on October 27 for Xbox One. Microsoft did not share any images of the special emblem, so we’ll have to wait to find out what it looks like.
