Halo: Campaign Evolved PC System Requirements

Updated July 20266 min readBy the HowToPlayHub team

Halo: Campaign Evolved runs on a heavier Unreal Engine 5 build than a lot of players expect from a Halo game, and Halo Studios published four official spec tiers ahead of launch. Here's exactly what you need to hit 1080p, 1440p, or 4K at 60 FPS (High or Ultra settings), plus the storage and OS requirements that apply no matter which tier you're targeting.

Quick answer

Halo: Campaign Evolved has four official spec tiers. Minimum (1080p/60fps): Ryzen 5 3600 / i7-10700K, RTX 2060 Super or RX 6600 or Arc A580, 16 GB RAM, 8 GB VRAM. Medium (1440p/60fps): Ryzen 7 5700X / i5-12600K, RTX 3070 or RX 7600 XT, 16 GB RAM. Recommended/High (4K/60fps High settings): Ryzen 7 7700 / i7-12700K, RTX 3080 Ti or RX 9070, 32 GB RAM, 12 GB VRAM. Ultra (4K/60fps Ultra settings): Ryzen 9 7900X / i9-13900K, RTX 4080, 32 GB RAM, 16 GB VRAM. All tiers need 100 GB SSD and Windows 10 22H2 or Windows 11.

01Minimum Specs — 1080p @ 60 FPS

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 or Intel Core i7-10700K
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER, AMD Radeon RX 6600, or Intel Arc A580
RAM: 16 GB
VRAM: 8 GB
Storage: 100 GB on an SSD

02Medium Specs — 1440p @ 60 FPS

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5700X or Intel Core i5-12600K
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 or AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT
RAM: 16 GB
VRAM: 8 GB
Storage: 100 GB on an SSD

03Recommended (High) Specs — 4K @ 60 FPS

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7700 or Intel Core i7-12700K
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti or AMD Radeon RX 9070
RAM: 32 GB
VRAM: 12 GB
Storage: 100 GB on an SSD

04Ultra Specs — 4K @ 60 FPS (Ultra Settings)

CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 7900X or Intel Core i9-13900K
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080
RAM: 32 GB
VRAM: 16 GB
Storage: 100 GB on an SSD

05Other Requirements & Tips

OS: Windows 10 22H2 (64-bit) or Windows 11 at every tier — older Windows 10 builds aren't supported.
SSD required: all four tiers call for 100 GB of SSD-based storage; installing on a mechanical hard drive isn't recommended and may cause streaming/texture issues typical of Unreal Engine 5 titles.
Resizable BAR is recommended across every spec tier — enable it in your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI if your CPU and GPU both support it, since Unreal Engine 5 titles tend to benefit noticeably from it.
32 GB of RAM is required at both the 4K High and 4K Ultra tiers — 16 GB is enough for 1080p and 1440p, but if you're building or upgrading a PC around launch, 32 GB gives you more headroom for background apps and future patches.
Specs were announced pre-launch and can be revised — check the Steam store page or Halo Waypoint close to July 28, 2026 for the final confirmed numbers.

FAQ

What are the minimum PC requirements for Halo: Campaign Evolved?

The minimum tier (1080p at 60 FPS) calls for an AMD Ryzen 5 3600 or Intel Core i7-10700K CPU, an NVIDIA RTX 2060 SUPER, AMD RX 6600, or Intel Arc A580 GPU, 16 GB of RAM, 8 GB of VRAM, and 100 GB of SSD storage, running Windows 10 22H2 or Windows 11.

How much RAM does Halo: Campaign Evolved need?

16 GB of RAM covers the minimum and medium spec tiers (1080p and 1440p at 60 FPS). The recommended tier for 4K at 60 FPS calls for 32 GB of RAM, alongside an RTX 3080 Ti or RX 9070-class GPU.

How much storage space does Halo: Campaign Evolved need?

All four official spec tiers require at least 100 GB of storage on an SSD. A mechanical hard drive isn't recommended, since Unreal Engine 5 titles like this one stream in textures and assets on the fly.

Do I need Resizable BAR for Halo: Campaign Evolved?

It's not a hard requirement, but Halo Studios lists Resizable BAR as recommended at every spec tier. If your CPU, GPU, and motherboard all support it, enabling it in your BIOS should help performance, which is typical for Unreal Engine 5 games.

Can my PC run Halo: Campaign Evolved at 4K 60 FPS?

There are two 4K tiers. The High (Recommended) tier targets 4K/60fps on High settings and asks for a Ryzen 7 7700 or Core i7-12700K CPU, an RTX 3080 Ti or RX 9070 GPU (12 GB VRAM), and 32 GB of RAM. The Ultra tier for 4K/60fps Ultra settings requires a Ryzen 9 7900X or Core i9-13900K and an RTX 4080 (16 GB VRAM) with 32 GB of RAM.
