The Halo World Championship prize pool is now $2.0M!

Once again, The Halo World Championship prize pool has increased since its initial launch, thanks to you, the community! 

Originally, Xbox and 343 Industries announced a starting prize pool of $1million for the Halo World Championship. However, since then, crowdfunding via in-game REQ Pack purchases have increased the prize pool by a substantial $1,000,000. 

As a result, the Halo World Championship prize pool currently sits at an impressive $2,000,000, and it’s growing daily! 

In addition to this, Microsoft and 343 industries also announced a brand new premium HCS Req Pack at the 2015 Game Awards. 

The Halo Championship Series premium Req pack will cost £7.99 ($10) or 80,000 REQ points. The pack contains HCS themed weapon skins, armour and emblems. The HCS Req Pack will be available for a limited time only, going on sale for 72 hours, and as expected, HCS Req Pack purchases will support the Halo World Championship prize pool.
