Recently, Gameinformer dropped a huge bomb shell of new information regarding Halo 5: Guardians’ story and multiplayer modes. With a huge reveal expected at E3 2015 next week, many fans are eager to pre-order the title in anticipation for the October 27th release.

While the physical editions of the game have been available for pre-order for a little while now, there has been no option for pre-order the game through the Xbox Games Store. Aaron Greenberg, Marketing Lead for First and Third Party titles at Microsoft has confirmed that at some point next week, players will be able to pre-order the game (and eventually pre-load it) through the Xbox Games Store.

This is huge news for fans who prefer to buy digital copies of games rather than physical copies. Last year with Halo: The Master Chief Collection, players couldn’t pre-order the game digitally until just a month before the games release.

With Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 being available for pre-order digitally since its original announcement, it’s great to see Halo 5: Guardians getting that option.

Will you be pre-ordering Halo 5: Guardians either digitally or physically? Discuss it on our forums now!
