Road to HaloWC 2023
The 2023 Halo World Championship event is almost here to bring Year 2 of HCS to a climactic conclusion with a $1,000,000 prize pool – save the date on your calendars for October 13-15.
With the return of the Community Stage, the cosplay contest, partnered team booth activations, and some special guest appearances, let’s get you a debrief on everything happening that’s going to make this the biggest year of HCS yet!
We’ll be updating this blog with new information over the coming weeks as new announcements are made regarding special guests, panels, and other elements of the event.
What is the Halo World Championship?
The Halo World Championship is not just the culmination of a year of HCS, but a celebration of the Halo community where there is something for every type of Halo fan to enjoy. From campaign to competitive, and everything in-between, the Halo World Championship is an event for everyone that provides epic entertainment against the backdrop of thrilling competition.
In the hallowed halls of the Seattle Convention Center, you’ll be able to meet with Halo developers, see jaw-dropping cosplays of characters and creatures from the Halo universe, and get hands-on with previews of the upcoming content in Season 5 of Halo Infinite. The Community Stage panels promise another round of conversation and chaos with a slew of special guests.
The event itself plays host to the final showdown between the best professional competitive Halo teams from across the world – a climactic clash of titans with a prize pool of $1,000,000 on the line.
But the competition doesn’t end there, as we’ve got some additional prize-winning opportunities at the event.
4v4 Prize Pool: $1,000,000
FFA Prize Pool: $25,000
Cosplay Contest: $5,000
MCC/H5/Infinite Side Tournaments: $5,000
Like we had at Ft. Worth, the Halo World Championship will also have some “side tournaments” in Halo: MCC, Halo 5, and Halo Infinite that attendees can sign up for on-site for free. Further details on this will be announced soon.
The 3-day VIP package ($250) has officially SOLD OUT, but you can still secure your 3-day General Admission ticket ($75) to make sure you don’t miss the biggest Halo event of the year! Full details on tickets can be found in the link above.

Cosplay Contest
The Cosplay Contest returns to the Halo World Championship, with a $5,000 reward up for grabs!
The Halo community boasts some of the most incredible cosplayers in the galaxy, bringing the Halo universe life with jaw-dropping dedication and detail. (Last year, WexyLex’s Halo: Reach Skirmisher was the star of the show, even performing Cortana’s emotional farewell scene alongside Jen Taylor!)
This year, contestants will compete in two initial heats of 12 participants (for a total of 24 participants) on Friday and Saturday and will be judged on four categories: Execution, Creativity, Complexity, and Accuracy. The three contestants with the top scores in each heat will move on to the final, held on Sunday, on the HCS Main Stage.
The Cosplay Contest Pass ($75) includes general access to the event for all three days and enables your participation in the Cosplay Contest. Cosplayers should pick which of the initial Heat 01 days work best for them, and each day is capped at 12 participants on a first-come-first-serve basis.
Note that should you be invited to the Cosplay Contest Finals, you MUST be available to participate on Sunday, October 15 (time is TBD).
If you already purchased a General Admission or VIP Pass, you will be refunded the value of the General Admission Pass within the next 24-48 hours after purchasing a Cosplay Pass.
Cosplay Terms & Conditions will be added here soon
