If you’re not familiar with Halo 5: Guardians, it’s one of the most popular shooter games on Xbox One and also one of the best multiplayer experiences on consoles (there is no local multiplayer mode, sadly). As a Microsoft Studios title, the company and developer 343 Industries have also released a lot of free additional content since its release in October, with new content coming this summer with the Firefight mode. Anyway, please find the official game’s description below along with the launch trailer:

A mysterious and unstoppable force threatens the galaxy; the Master Chief is missing and his loyalty questioned. Experience the most dramatic Halo story to date in a 4-player cooperative epic that spans three worlds. Challenge friends and rivals in new multiplayer modes: Warzone, massive 24-player battles, and Arena, pure 4-vs-4 competitive combat.

This looks like a great price for a great Xbox game. Do you think Halo 5: Guardians is still one of the best Xbox One exclusive games in 2016? Please tell us what you think in the comments.
