Swarovski are celebrating Halo's 20th Anniversary with a giveaway that breaks all expectations. Honestly, this is pretty insane!
Xbox and Swarovski are teaming up to celebrate Halo's 20th Anniversary, in one of the most surprising video game crossover events in living memory. I mean, look at those two jewels, you have to be one sweaty-as nerd, and rich as fork, to want to buy something like that! Well, lucky for you, it's actually not a matter of buying these two little trinkets, it's a matter of winning them.
Now, before we continue, we want to stress something: it is completely insane that Halo is already twenty years old! Seriously – it feels like not too long ago that we were celebrating ten years of Halo with Combat Evolved Anniversary Edition. It's peanuts that this crossover even exists, as well. Thus, how could we resist writing about it? Honestly! Swarovski x Halo Infinite? What the fork!
What is the Swarovski x Halo Crossover?
Xbox and Swarovski have revealed two crystal collectibles that will be distributed to celebrate Halo's 20th Anniversary via a competition. Ever since Halo Infinite saw a surprise Multiplayer release in November, we knew that 2021 would be Halo's year. This compounds that fact even more. I mean, seriously, what the hell is this crossover? Those crystal emblems are incredible!
We've teamed up with @Halo to celebrate the game's 20th anniversary and the launch of #HaloInfinite, creating two must-have collectibles - including Master Chief's iconic Mjolnir helmet. Enter to win one of 117 Swarovski x Halo collections: https://t.co/ZC2RcP13Lo pic.twitter.com/x8QJKH7UR1

In Xbox's official press release, written by Jenny Miller of Xbox Global Partnerships, they said the following:
Two decades after the dawn of one of gaming’s most iconic franchises, Swarovski has recreated Master Chief’s iconic Mjolnir helmet, made from a singular piece of crystal featuring 140 facets, along with the emblematic Energy Sword crafted with 204 facets from 13 different cut crystal pieces, and two polished steel tips.
These remarkable pieces of jewelry are a surprisingly great way to celebrate Halo, representing the magic, mystery, and beauty of the Halo universe for all of us hardcore fans. I mean, they are only creating 117 sets of these collectibles, which is obviously a nod towards Master Chief's iconic Spartan Number. This is pure nerd stuff, and we're certainly not complaining!
How to Get a Swarovski x Halo Collectible
There are two main ways to pick yourself up a Swarovski x Halo Crystal Collectible. We will outline them below, but we want to especially emphasize the fact that these collectibles are extremely rare and you need to get in very quick to snag one for yourself.
