At the end of last year, 343 Industries announced it would be shutting down the majority of its online services for Halo games on Xbox 360 in December 2021.
As we get closer to this month, it's now been revealed the date has been pushed back by a month, and these online services for Halo on Xbox 360 will now be sunset on 13th January next year.
It should leave achievement hunters just enough time to wrap up anything they've still got left to complete. Of course, you don't need to worry too much about this - as the Halo: The Master Chief Collection will still allow you to play the main games online.
For more details about Halo 360's sunset, check out the full FAQ over on the official Halo website.

Idk, I get not wanting to pay to keep servers that aren't very populated anymore but Halo 4 and Reach still pull decent numbers for 360 games. After all the kerfuffle that has been 343's handling of Infinites development, I don't buy for a minute that the reason for it is to focus on Infinite. How hard is it to get a couple of people to once in a while poke around the 360 servers and make sure they are ticking nicely? I mean either way, give it enough time and fans should bring the servers back again one day ala Insignia but then I'm losing all my progress and records. Such is life I suppose but 343 doesn't get my respect. Rant over 😋
"We get it, the severs for Halo 4 and sometimes others can be crappy. So we're giving you an extra month!"
It's been fun using this as my excuse to get into the Halo series. Almost done with all the online based achievements, all that remains is Halo Wars.
I’ll have to
See what achievements i have left for the halo games
