Yes—but availability depends on which Halo game, device, storefront, and play mode you mean. Halo Infinite is available on Windows PC and Xbox consoles, and its multiplayer is free-to-play. Its Campaign is a separate paid component. Halo: The Master Chief Collection is available on PC and Xbox One. Halo Infinite is also listed for Xbox Cloud Gaming with Game Pass Premium and Ultimate; check the current listing for your region before subscribing.

Halo Infinite Campaign
The Campaign is separate from the free multiplayer. You need to obtain the Campaign through a purchase or a qualifying Game Pass membership. Check the specific store page or subscription catalog to confirm that the version and entitlement you want are included.
Halo: The Master Chief Collection
MCC is a separate collection, available to purchase or through a subscription catalog when included in your plan. Its exact purchase and Game Pass options can vary; consult Halo Support’s MCC purchase and Game Pass information and the current store listing.
Will a Halo purchase transfer between PC and Xbox?
Eligible Halo Infinite purchases from Xbox or Microsoft Store carry across Xbox console, the Xbox app for PC, and the Microsoft Store app for PC under Xbox Play Anywhere, according to Halo Support. That does not mean a Steam Campaign purchase transfers: Halo Support says a Campaign bought through Steam is available only through Steam. Check the storefront attached to your purchase before switching devices.
