Halo: The Master Chief Collection announced for PC (Steam/Microsoft Store) - Staggered release, Reach first
- Thread starter AlexFlame116
- Start date
yeah currently the only ones with anniversary titles are Halo 1 and 2. 3 will hopefully one day be a thing, I will cry on that day.
MCC announcement was a given and was bracing for the Windows store announcement. Steam release was an absolute shocker. Wow.
Although there was still this Steam update recently that added support for a "third party API", so I'm wondering how much will the Xbox stuff interact with Steam.

It's too early to say whether this is a one-off or the beginning of Microsoft releasing its premier first/second-party titles on Steam.
This image is a complete mind fuck - fucking bizarro land shit. I love it.
My only real concern is if the mp holds ends up on pc. It was designed for console controls, you put it on pc and everyone is suddenly a lot more accurate than the game design accounted for.
Otherwise HEEEEEELLLLL YEEEEEEEEEEEEES
This is all I wanted ever since I got a new PC last year. And it includes Reach! It's going to be so pretty to go back to that game at high res and 60+ fps

Hell yeah. And dx12 games work very well, or so I've heard.
Actually I have no idea this is dx12 or not. Probably not.
I put a little bit of time into the El Dewrito thing, and Halo MP feels awesome on PC. I'm expecting this to be on par or even better.
I think: 2019 Fall. As all Halo game in the main series.
Never played Halo games, so I'm pretty excited to finally play them!
I'm fine with this type of schedule tbh. I wouldn't have been able to play them all at once anyway. As long as there won't be an excessive time gap between the releases and the prices will be reasonable.

I bet if this does extremely well, we'll see all future exclusives on Steam as well.
He's just getting his knife and fork out, how else are you supposed to eat pizza?
So excited that my favorite Xbox game series ever will be available for more people to play wherever they want to! I will continue to buy their most powerful available Xbox console just because I prefer not dealing with PC builds any longer and like gaming easily in front of my big 65" 4K HDR TV. Microsoft is really doing such gamer friendly things.
It's a cheaper point of entry. It's easier to use. It's easier to support.
Yeah, I had a similar revelation some time ago. Let's hope he'll help put Halo back in the spotlight. I feel between this and Halo Infinite, the franchise could really be on the cusp of a major resurgence.
Fucking awesome that this is dropping on Steam good on Microsoft. But any release date we have on this yet?
Hopefully this is a success so they bring a similar GEARS collection to PC. It's not that PC gamers do not like those games, we do not like consoles that's all. Bring on the content and we will respond with our wallet.

I've been very down on Microsoft's PC stance for literally decades but this is amazing news. Buying on day one. Bring more exclusives over to Steam and I'll buy those too! (already bought Sunset Overdrive)
Would it be unwise to add Halo 5 if Halo Infinite is going to play like older Halos? I feel like if people are playing Halo for the first time (or for the first time in a while) that the gameplay of Halo 5 might give them false expectations for Halo Infinite.
haha
Getting that 'How to share a game on PS4' revenge, but Epic takes the damage!
Very nice. Have some folks both on Xbox One X and PC who haven't played Reach. Hopefully we'll be able to play through the campaign together.
Though personally not interested in the main line titles apart from Halo 5 (played through 1-4 on Xbox/360), but I guess there won't be the option of only paying for certain titles of the Collection.

This definitely seems like they're making a concerted effort to revitalize the franchise by bringing it to Steam. Halo Infinite is going to be fucking huge if it come out on everything at once.
Yo
Coming to Steam?!
wait, will this be a part of game pass? The wording in the OP is kind of confusing.

It will be part of Xbox Gamepass and also sold on Steam. You can buy it on Windows Store too.
I'm sure MCC is already a part of gamepass anyway, I think?
I don't think steam supported appx packages before (uwp api games used this format) but now that microsoft has a new packaging format, msix, which is open source, supports all apps including legacy and uwp and its coming to all OS's I'd say its more likely that steam is adopting this. so i'd say the chances are better than before that stuff like gears 4, sea of thieves hit more store fronts.
