# You can now play the original Halo for free in your browser with 128-player multiplayer

**[XDA Developers](https://daily.dev/sources/xda-developers)** · 2 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

An unofficial browser port of Halo: Combat Evolved built by developer Hynes lets players run the 26-year-old game directly in a browser, supporting up to 128-player multiplayer and split-screen co-op. Performance is poor on iOS and Android, with PC recommended for the best experience, and controller support is currently missing, leaving mouse and keyboard as the only input option. The port saw roughly 20,000 plays within 5 hours across 115 countries, and it may not stay online for long given its unofficial nature.
