Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members can watch the Halo TV show free for 30 days

Xbox Game Pass Ultimate members in the US will be able to watch the new Halo TV show free of charge for one month through a new promotion.

A free 30-day Paramount+ trial will be made available to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers beginning on March 23, which is the day before the new Halo TV show debuts.

The upcoming show stars Emmy and Tony nominee Pablo Schreiber as Master Chief, Natascha McElhone as Dr. Halsey, and Jen Taylor as Cortana.

The first season reportedly had a budget of over $10 million per episode and Paramount has already renewed the show for a second season.

A new trailer for the show was released earlier this week and is viewable above.

“When we set out to create a television series about Halo and the Master Chief, our goal was to not only create an epic sci-fi adventure that would be fun to watch, but to dive into the characters, the personal stories, and the incredibly vast and detailed universe of Halo that we have mostly only seen through the games,” Kiki Wolfkill, head of Halo transmedia at 343 Industries, recently told Xbox Wire.

“It is a sci-fi show about characters both heroic and fallible, about having hope against overwhelming odds, and a central question – what are we willing to sacrifice of our humanity to save it?”
