Attention: Halo 5 is free to play for a week

Halo 5: Guardians is free to play, starting today and for a few more days.

The entire Halo 5 package is available to download and play completely free as part of a limited-time offer.

All you have to do is head over to the game's page on the store and download it. The trial is not yet active at the time of writing, but it will be later today.

You'll need to be a Gold member, but you'll have access to pretty much everything the game has to offer from single-player and multiplayer, to the newly released Warzone Firefight co-op mode.

Halo 5 is also on sale for 50 percent off, bringing the price down to $30.

Just be aware that the download is quite hefty, at just over 81 GB. So you should get started on it as soon as you can, if you plan on playing it.

This trial ends Tuesday, July 5.
