Halo Recruit brings Microsoft’s most important franchise into VR

A few weeks back, UploadVR caught wind that Microsoft’s iconic Halo franchise would be coming to its new line of Windows 10 virtual reality headsets, which are made by partners such as Asus and Dell, though we didn’t know in what form. Today, Microsoft revealed all.

Halo Recruit is coming to all Windows VR headsets at launch on October 17. It will be a free, albeit brief experience designed to introduce players to the possibilities of Halo in VR. It’s developed by 343 Industries, the team behind Halo 4 and Halo 5, and it will offer you a glimpse of your favorite characters in VR. Halo Recruit will also be at retail demo stations in the coming weeks.
