The map pack was released on [[2011#November|November 15, 2011]] on Xbox LIVE for 1200 Microsoft Points, as well as being bundled with ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary]]'' as a download code.{{Ref/Site|D=10|M=10|Y=2014|URL=http://blogs.halowaypoint.com/Headlines/post/2011/11/09/The-Halo-Bulletin-11911-.aspx|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=The Halo Bulletin: 11/9/11}} The maps are also available on the disc of ''Halo: Anniversary'' itself, serving as its multiplayer component. The Anniversary Map Pack includes seven new [[Achievements (Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary)|Achievements]], with a total of 250 Gamerscore. Unlike the achievements released with the [[Noble Map Pack|Noble]] and [[Defiant Map Pack|Defiant]] map packs, these achievements can only be unlocked while playing on Anniversary maps.

A collaborative effort between [[343 Industries]] and [[Certain Affinity]], the map pack includes six remastered [[multiplayer]] maps from ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' and ''[[Halo 2]]''. The maps have been optimized for ''Halo: Reach'' multiplayer, with changes in layout, weapon availability, and vehicle selection. A [[Forge]] variant completely identical to the original iteration is also available for each map. [[Installation 04 (map)|Installation 04]], the first [[Firefight]] map with friendly AI assistance, is also included.

In July of [[2017]], the Anniversary map pack - like all other [[Xbox 360]] ''Halo'' title DLC - was made available to download for free.{{Ref/Site|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/halo-summer-celebration|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Halo Summer Celebration}} All Anniversary pack content is included in ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]''.
