HCEMobile

HCEMobile, also called Halo CE Mobile, is a browser version of Halo: Combat Evolved, Bungie's 2001 Xbox shooter, made to be installed as an app on phones and tablets. It is run by Trevor (BanTrev on X). It is built on halo-ce-universal, a port of the community decompilation by punpckhdq and bnunu, compiled to WebAssembly. The campaign, split screen for up to four and System Link need no account; a free account adds matchmaking with ranks from 1 to 50, Custom Games lobbies, friends, clans and chat. It includes no game data, so you load an image of your own disc.

How to play

1. On iPhone or iPad, tap Share in Safari, then Add to Home Screen. On Android, choose Install app in Chrome's menu. On a computer, play in the browser.
2. Under Game data, tap Choose disc image… and pick an .iso or .xiso of your disc, or use Load from URL instead with a direct link. The maps (up to 1.8 GB) are copied into the app and nothing is uploaded. Then tap Play.
3. For online play, create an account under Play online, then open Multiplayer in the game.
4. Keyboard and mouse: WASD to move, mouse to aim, left click to fire, Space to jump, Esc to pause.

What you need

• Browser: iOS 17 or later on iPhone and iPad, Chrome on Android, or a current Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox on a computer, with about 2 GB of free memory.
• Input: editable touch layouts, including an Original Xbox controller layout; Xbox, PlayStation, Switch Pro, MFi or Backbone controllers; or keyboard and mouse.

Good to know

• The web port started on GitHub Pages on September 29, 2026 and moved to HCEMobile.com on October 6, 2026. Saves exported from the old address can be restored here.
• Remote co-op streams player 2's view from the host to a friend's device, so the friend needs no game data.
• halo-ce-universal is now called OpenCE. Combat Lab, also listed here, comes from the same decompilation; HCEMobile adds the phone app, touch controls and account-based matchmaking.
• The site, in English and Spanish, calls itself an unofficial fan project, not endorsed by or affiliated with Microsoft.
