What you need to know

  • Microsoft has two browser themes inspired by the new Halo TV series.
  • The themes change the new tab page, accent color, and other elements of Edge to match the look and feel of the show.
  • The Halo TV series premiered on Paramount Plus on March 24, 2022.

Two new Halo themes are available through the Edge Add-ons store, both inspired by the story of the TV show. The Prophets theme switches your browser's accent color to gray and adds a striking image with three thrones to your new tab page. The Artifact theme has green accents and an image of Master Chief reaching into a device (no spoilers).

"Personalize Microsoft Edge with a new browser theme inspired by the Halo series on Paramount+," read the descriptions for each theme. "This theme changes the look and feel of your browser and the new tab page to create a beautiful and immersive visual experience inspired by the series. You can also apply different themes to each profile to help you easily separate home, school, or work."

While Paramount Plus has not shared viewership figures for the first episode of the Halo TV series, the show was the most-viewed premiere ever on the streaming service.
