Forums - Microsoft - Halo: Spartan Assault Gets an Xbox One Release Date

Subhead line: It will run in 1080p at 60 FPS.

"Halo: Spartan Assault, the game that fills the gap between Halo 3 and Halo 4, will be available for download on Xbox One on December 24.

If you already purchased Spartan Assault on Windows 8, you’ll be able to buy the game for $4.99 instead of $14.99.

Spartan Assault for the Xbox One should be the definitive version of the game. It runs at native 1080p at 60 frames per second, and it includes new weapons, abilities, and achievements.

The top-down, twin-stick Halo adventure was previously only available on Windows Phone, Surface, and Windows 8 devices. It will also make its way to Xbox 360 sometime in January."

Awesome! Peggle 2 today, Spartan Assault Dec. 24th!

Keep it rolling Microsoft!

(Now if only there was a dashboard update soon)



Wish it were free if you already have the W8 version, but I guess I'll double dip.



Won bet with t3mporary_126 - I correctly predicted that the Wii U's LTD at the end of 2014 would be closer to 9 million than 10 million. http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=6673287

" To make the deal sweeter for some, Microsoft is giving Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 users who buy the game before December 15th a way to get the Xbox One version at a discounted rate of $5."

Technically yes but they will not pay more than the people who bought it for Xbox one and did not buy it on W8 or WP8.  Game was less than 10$ on W8/WP8.

The game is $7 on Windows 8, it's $5 on Xbox One. Deal confirmed.

Unlike Android which plays the exact same game anywhere, no matter how unoptimized it is for the hardware, this will be optimized for Xbox One.  As similar as dev tools are for Xbox One and Windows 8, game still needs to be ported and optimized for Xbox hence it costs money. 

Once Microsoft merges their ecosystems completely and sells it like that to the market, you can cry foul...
