Halo The Master Chief Collection

Halo: The Master Chief Collection is the definitive PC release of the original Halo arc, bundling six games into a single integrated experience that 343 Industries spent years rolling out title by title. Halo: Reach, Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary, Halo 2: Anniversary, Halo 3, Halo 3: ODST and Halo 4 together cover 67 campaign missions, from Noble Six's last stand at the start of the saga through to the rise of a new enemy at the end of the Master Chief's original arc.

The PC version is built around modernisation rather than emulation. 4K UHD support, 60+ FPS targeting, customisable mouse and keyboard controls, ultrawide monitor support, FOV customisation and a long list of other PC-specific options put the package on a fundamentally different technical footing than the original Xbox releases. Each game has been optimised for the new platform rather than simply ported.

Multiplayer is where the bundle's scale really shows. More than 120 multiplayer maps across the six included games, every game's distinct modes and weapon balances preserved, custom games built from the assets of any included title, and full crossplay between platforms. Forge, the iconic map editor, returns expanded and refreshed across the games that supported it originally (Combat Evolved Anniversary and ODST excluded), with increased budgets, new objects and the ability to create custom game modes. For long-time Halo fans the collection is the most comprehensive curated version of the franchise's first decade; for new players, it's the cleanest entry point available.
