Beginning Friday, October 23, owners of the both the Xbox One and Xbox 360 editions of Minecraft will be able to play as characters from Halo 5: Guardians through an update to the Minecraft: Halo Edition mash-up pack.

The update, which is free to current owners of the pack, will contain eight new characters, SPARTANS from Blue Team and Fireteam Osiris. Here's a list of the new character skins:

All of this comes ahead of the actual launch of Halo 5, which arrives on the Xbox One on October 27. If you don't already own the Minecraft: Halo Edition mash-up, you can grab it now from the Xbox Store.
