Today during the latest episode of Inside Xbox,Microsoft dropped a bombshellamid the wait for the latestHalogame —Halo: The Master Chief Collectionis coming to PC, and the entire collection itself is addingHalo: Reach.
The PC releaseincludes Steamon top of the Microsoft Store so there are options, and will include sequential releases over time, something Microsoft says will ensure they get the PC ports “right.” Translation:Reachis coming first, followed byHalo, Halo 2, Halo 3, ODST,andHalo 4.Reachis confirmed to operate at 4K/60FPS parameters.
If you already ownThe Master Chief Collectionon Xbox One, Microsoft has explained exactly howReach‘s inclusion will happen. Basically, the multiplayer component (which Microsoft clarifies includes the theater and forge) is free. If you want the campaign or Firefight, you’ll have to pony up for a premium add-on. If you own Xbox Game Pass, it’ll all be included.
WhileReachprobably isn’t the topHalogame on many lists, the idea of eventually including every iteration in theCollectionis an incredible idea. I sincerely hope Microsoft keeps up their efforts for game preservation: while folks joke that they don’t have enough new games releasing on a consistent basis, I like that they’re doing something different and backing backward compatibility so hard.
