Halo: The Master Chief Collection is being touted as specifically built for the PC audience, including all the bells and whistles that come with a PC product."We're going to roll out each of the games in The MCC one by one," a 343 Industries representative said. "Steam for us is a new opportunity. We want to bring our games to players ... to the platforms of their choice."In what's quickly becoming the Halo anthology, Microsoft announced Halo: The Master Chief Collection will also be getting Halo: Reach in the near future , bringing the total number of Halo games in the collection to six.The Master Chief Collection includes Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary, Halo 2: Anniversary, Halo 3, and Halo 4 are all included, with Halo 3: ODST thrown in for early adopters shortly after launch , and now Halo: Reach to round out almost every Halo game in the series in one place for $30 USD. That's crazy!Microsoft has already included Halo: The Master Chief Collection in Xbox Game Pass , its subscription-based game service, and continued to support and update The MCC with a number of improvements over the years.Despite its rocky start so many years ago, Halo: The Master Chief Collection has quietly become one of the best deals in gaming, as we said in our IGN Halo: The Master Chief Collection Review back in November 2014.
