'''Seasons''' are a feature of ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'', ''[[Halo Wars 2]]'', ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'', and ''[[Halo Infinite]]'', primarily focused on their games' respective competitive modes. Seasons have typically accompanied new ranked settings, a handful of title updates and patches and accompanied the release of DLC. Leaderboards on [[Halo Waypoint]] are additionally organised by season, with a new season seeing the reset of leaderboards and new matchmaking playlists.


==List of seasons==
Seasons were introduced to ''[[Halo: The Master Chief Collection]]'' following the [[2019]] release of ''[[Halo: Reach]]'' and the collection for PC, serving as the game's ongoing post-launch support with each new season bringing new cosmetic customization unlocks and gameplay improvements.
*'''[[Season 1: Noble]]''' - The first season implemented within ''The Master Chief Collection'', beginning on December 3, 2019. Titled "Noble" after [[NOBLE Team]], this season focuses on ''Halo: Reach'', including the game's [[Armor permutations (Halo: Reach)|armor customisation]] system.
*'''[[Season 2: Spark]]''' - This season was launched following the release of ''[[Halo 3]]'' for PC, on July 14, 2020.

==Season points==
==''Halo: Reach''==
[[File:HTMCC Icon SP.png|thumb|right|The season point currency icon.]]
{{Expand-section}}
Season points are a new in-game currency introduced with the Season system. They can be used within the various unlock tiers of each season to unlock [[armor permutations]], [[Skins (Halo: Combat Evolved)|skins]], [[Nameplates/Halo: The Master Chief Collection|nameplates]], [[Firefight]] voices, and more. Initially, season points could only be earned by progressing in the game's [[Rank (Halo: The Master Chief Collection)|rank scheme]] through regular multiplayer, though the addition of [[Challenges/Halo: The Master Chief Collection|Challenges]] has resulted in a wider array of season point earning potential across multiplayer, campaign, Firefight, [[Forge]] and custom games. Season points are a purely in-game currency, and cannot be bought through real-world purchases.

==''Halo Wars 2''==
Seasons are present in ''Halo Wars 2''. During the first year of the game's life cycle, seasons were released roughly once a month to coincide with [[downloadable content]] releases or other events such as the launch of [[Xbox One X]]. Since then, the output of Seasons has slowed to as little as one per-year. Seasons are a fixture of the game's ranked multiplayer, used for leaderboard and [[Rank (Halo Wars 2)|rank]] resets. Season refreshes are typically accompanied by a [[Halo Wars 2 Title Updates|Title Update]], and may have several mid-season patches.
