The Exchange is a rotating storefront featured in Halo: The Master Chief Collection and Halo Infinite.
Halo: The Master Chief CollectionEdit
In Halo: The Master Chief Collection, cosmetic items can be purchased with excess 
Season Points earned in-game. The Exchange is used as a means to reintroduce items previously only unlockable via time-limited challenges, but will also feature entirely new items that did not appear in previous seasons or their challenges.[1] The Exchange has two categories, limited-time items which are rotated each week, and featured items, which remain available for longer. Each week, the following week's items can be previewed.
The Exchange was first tested during the Flights for Series 6: Raven, during which time The Exchange contained similar content to its final release with a notable inclusion; the Avalanche skin originally unlockable in Series 4: Reclaimer as part of a ranked challenge. However, community pushback on this led to the skin being removed for final release, with 343 Industries opting to leave more time and choose a "more appropriate" price point for the ranked reward skins before including them in The Exchange.[1]
The following table shows the items that have been available in The Exchange chronologically from the time it was first introduced, starting from when it was introduced on April 7, 2021.

Post-SeriesEdit
Halo InfiniteEdit
The Exchange was made available in Halo Infinite with the release of Content Update 32.[3][4] Like Halo: The Master Chief Collection, the Exchange is a rotating storefront operating on freely earned currency, which allows players to earn old and new cosmetic items. The contents of the Exchange are added onto every month, tying into new Operations and their themes. Unlike The Master Chief Collection, the items within the Exchange are never made unavailable to the player, and remain within the rotation as new content is added. Content that was featured in the Exchange and then pulled out can be bought via the Armor Hall.

NotesEdit
- ^ The Exchange was added to the game with an update on April 7, which was a Wednesday. Each Wednesday at 17:00 UTC, the week's challenges and items reset. However, the update was released before this time, and so if downloaded quickly enough, it was possible to access The Exchange before the items changed. The items offered before the reset were identical to those that were made available a week later, on April 14.
- ^ Due to fan feedback that it was frustrating to be unable to immediately attain the items added by the August 31, 2022 MCC update, The Exchange was updated mid-week to allow access to what would have been the following week's items, one week early.
- ^ a b Originally it cost 30,000 SP, but the price was reduced after players' feedback
