Xbox.com is the official Microsoft website for the Xbox and Xbox 360 consoles, as well as the online gaming service Xbox Live. It has pages detailing popular Xbox games, including the Halo franchise portal Halo Waypoint which serves as the hub for all the Halo games, Halo-related news and information.

Prior to the release of Halo Waypoint, Xbox.com housed individual pages for each of the Halo games, which have since been merged with the Waypoint site. Of note is the backstory on the Halo: Combat Evolved page, which was the first official source to describe the events that led to the formation of the UNSC as well as human colonization. While most of the original content is no longer available at the Waypoint page for Halo: Combat Evolved, the timeline is still hosted by Halo.bungie.org at their Halo Story Page. Xbox.com has also been home to the marketing websites for each of the Halo games, including Believe and Jake Courage Exhibition for Halo 3 and a marketing website for Halo Wars. However, most of these have later been taken down.
