Today, March 12, during the Xbox Inside live stream Microsoft announced Halo: The Master Chief Collection will be coming to PC through Steam but there are also some surprises with this announcement.

The first big announcement with this is that Halo: Reach will be entering the collection. This title was previously omitted from the collection, likely due to the fact Master Chief isn’t actually in this game.

For Halo 3 and Halo: Reach this will be the first time on PC while Halo 1 and 2 have found their way to PC in the past.

Halo 1 and 2 were remastered in the Master Chief Collection so players who have only played the PC versions will be in for a treat with the overhauled visuals.
