Her en uge efter sin debut på Xbox One, er Halo 5: Guardians ved at blive en af de vigtigste udgivelser i Halo-serien, takket være nogle fantastiske finansielle resultater i løbet af sine første syv dage på markedet. Dette er blevet rapporteret af Xbox Wire, og ifølge dem har Halo 5 sat rekord som "den største Halo-udgivelse og hurtigst sælgende Xbox One-eksklusive titel med over $400 millioner i globale salg".
Dette er blevet rapporteret i en blog-post:
"Fans have logged more than 21 million hours of total gameplay, including 12 million hours in campaign mode alone. The widely praised multiplayer modes have also led to nine million total hours played with nearly seven million multiplayer matches played across Arena and the all-new Warzone mode. In addition, Halo fans are taking to the new Requisition System in a big way, with over 45 million REQ Packs acquired, totaling more than 568 million REQ Cards.
Last week's Halo 5: Live earned a Guinness World Record™ title for the most watched video game launch broadcast, setting a precedent with more than 330,000 unique streams on the evening of the broadcast. Additionally, content from the broadcast generated 5.5 million total views throughout the week. This resulted in a spike in digital sales of Halo 5: Guardians, leading to it becoming the best-selling digital game ever in the Xbox Store for an opening week".
