It only included ODST post launch as an apology for it's broken launch. Guaranteed it would not have Reach either if it had a smooth launch.

343 Industries claims "no plans" to bring Halo 5 to PC
- Thread starter St. Elmo's Fire
- Start date
They can barely manage Infinite let alone work on a port as well. It's a small studio after all.
It's my preferred game to play online on MCC, it's aged wonderfully.
Maybe my memory is bad, but I'm pretty sure 343 said at one point that they -can't- add any more games to MCC after Reach because of limitations in the engine. People need to just give up that dream already, it's never happening. If Halo 5 eventually gets a re-release, it won't be part of the collection.
OP

They're just responding to the nvidia leak so no one gets the wrong idea. They're not going to announce anything else in response to a leak, even if there were plans behind the scenes. Announcing a port of an old game on the eve of Halo Infinite? C'mon.
All that work they did for MCC and then leave PC folks hanging on the last chapter before Infinite. Ya hate to see it.
Have a port studio do it ffs. Something.

MS should get another team on it. No need for the main Halo people to take time out if Infinite for it. But, it is really fucking stupid to literally have a single entry of a franchise missing.
I suppose I have "no plans" to play Halo 5. That's fine. As long as Infinite is coming, I don't care.
Yeah, they previously mentioned engine and Xbox One memory limitations.
I think it's weird that they've got this one game sitting outside the MCC, and I still think it ultimately gets ported to MCC at some point, but this isn't the first time they've said it isn't coming to PC.
Halo 5 gets shit on by everyone so it's not like there's a clamor for it to be ported, and they may simply view it as wasted resources to do the work.

The only explanation I can think of is why waste the resources when Infinite is their upcoming money maker. H5 itself probably wouldn't draw much attention from Infinite.
Makes sense, 343 is already working on MCC and Infinite so no need to work on Halo 5 at the moment.
Maybe down the line once MCC and Infinite are in a great place, they can port over Halo 5 to Steam.

Essentially how I feel. When Infinite releases, I have no reason to ever even touch Halo 5 again (beyond maybe a full campaign run through.) Infinite is the definitive "modern" Halo experience, going based off of the gameplay in the Tech Preview.
… people throughout this thread? My post was in reference to the people saying they hope it gets added to the collection.
It makes plenty of sense if you are trying to sell units... Halo doesn't sell Windows. It Sells Xbox. There's no major incentive to investing the resources to make it happen.
MS doesn't care about selling hardware anymore lol. They don't give AF where you buy or play game
Hey guys lets bring all Halo games to PC it'll be great. But not the game that bridges to Halo Infinite no sir.
They havent released Halo on PC on release since 3. And with 3 they forced you to use a new operating system and garbage games for windows live which you had to pay for.. You watch Halo Infinite sell tons on PC which is what they are about now they don't care much for their hardware anymore considering everything is coming to PC from Xbox.

Trying to sell units with Halo 5 hahaha, it's a good game but also last gen with 1-4, and 6 all being on PC
I mean, it made no sense last year and the year before, but with only a couple months before Infinite, it makes sense. They already have a small team working on MCC, the last thing you want to do is take people off Infinite to port over H5.
Halo 5 MP deserves better, high-level play is super entertaining to watch and the meta that evolved from bugs/movement exploitation created a really interesting skill range. I hope to see it on PC, if not technically possible as part of MCC then as a standalone.
They'd still be a lot of work to port and implement with the matchmaking, co-op/campaign so I understand why it's not been done yet with Inf/MCC being priorities.

suddenly people care about Halo 5's campaign and they're not going to play Infinite otherwise?? wtf is going on.
yeah it'd be nice to have everything together, but it won't be happening (any time soon). There's always xCloud on PC to play through the campaign..
Halo Wars 2 lays the groundwork for Halo Infinite more than 5 anyway and that's on PC

Developers who would be making the port - Skybox Labs - are tangled up with Infinite and post-launch support for that game. Previous comment by 343i employee I've seen said that, if Halo 5 port was to happen, it would happen long after Infinite. Skybox Labs did Halo 5 Forge for PC and Xbox One X version of Halo 5. Halo 5 received no client-side patches in the last few years - and the reason was, again, Halo Infinite. No series sx support either.
I did, and 343i has been saying for years that there are no plans to bring Halo 5 outside of the Forge mode to PC. It showing up in the GeForce Now database doesn't change that.
I'm really sorry that there are some xbox games that Microsoft has not brought to PC, especially because I can't see a reason why. Take Gears 2 or 3 or the mentioned Halo 5.
And I need the Perfect Dark remastered.

It's better this way. Now you only have to find a way to erase your memories of Halo 4.
Nobody is entitled to a PC port of Halo 5. People accept this. Not sure what reaction you're looking for.
Thanks for the info, I didn't know skybox labs did the One X version!
It's been rough seeing Halo 5 MP bleed out as it has.
If you don't think a highly wished for port appearing in the GeForce Now database is at all newsworthy then I don't know what to tell you. I suspect you know that it is though.
