The game is set in 2558, eights months after the events of the Spartan Ops game mode of Halo 4 .
The game's story relies strongly on the player's knowledge of the lore, past events and spin-offs and does not rehash what has happened before.
The main campaign consists of fifteen levels that can be played alone or with up to four players online with drop-in/drop-out multiplayer and four difficulty levels.
It is played from the alternating perspectives of two Spartan fireteams.
The first one, the Spartan-II Blue team, consists of Master Chief Petty Officer John-117, Linda-058 (sniper), Kelly-087 (scout) and Fred-104 (CQB Specialist).
The second one, the Spartan-IV Osiris team is led by ONI agent Jameson Locke and consists of Holly Tanaka (engineer), Vale (pilot and translator) and Edward Buck (trooper).
When playing alone the team mates can be issued commands to attack specific targets or to move to certain locations.
They will also revive the player character when down.
In cooperative multiplayer each player can freely choose and control a team character with specific skills and weapons.
The game opens with the Osiris team eight months after the destruction of the shield world Requiem.
They need to infiltrate enemy lines to extract the criminal Doctor Elizabeth Halsey who wishes to defect back to UNSC and has information about a new threat.
Meanwhile the Blue team investigates the ONI research station Argent Moon that has been occupied by The Covenant.
After a series of events the Blue team goes rogue, disobeying orders, and the Osiris team is ordered to hunt them down as a larger plot unfolds with the Forerunners as the main enemy.
The game has a linear design, with several open areas linked together, combined with s
About Xbox One
Microsoft's Xbox One launched in 2013 alongside the PS4 and leaned heavily into backwards compatibility and subscription services like Game Pass. Because so many Xbox One owners moved to all-digital libraries, physical Xbox One cartridges — sorry, discs — in good condition are comparatively less common on the secondhand market than their PlayStation equivalents from the same era.
Gamevaro tracks Halo 5: Guardians for Xbox One with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Halo 5: Guardians to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This XONE release dates back to 2015.

Market insights
Rarity & condition

Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
