Halo 4 will be released for PC on November 17

Halo 4 will be available for PC on November 17 as part of Halo: The Master Chief Collection. The Master Chief Collection update for Xbox Series S and X will also be available on that date.

Microsoft has announced the arrival of the PC version of Halo 4 disclosed on Twitter and also released a new accompanying trailer. It was already known that Halo 4 was yet to follow in the line of Halo games that make up The Master Chief Collection, but an exact release date was previously unknown. According to the trailer description, Halo 4’s campaign is a full remaster. Multiplayer is also available.

The original Halo 4 was released for Xbox 360 in 2012, and Halo: The Master Chief Collection was released for Xbox One in November 2014. This collection was released for PC in December 2019, with the various Halo games being released step by step in chronological order. Halo: Reach was released first at the end of last year. After that, Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary, Halo 2: Anniversary, Halo 3, and the Halo 3: ODST campaign became available. Now it’s the turn of Halo 4.

It probably will stay there, since Microsoft previously indicated that there will be no PC version of Halo 5. Only the free-to-play Halo 5: Forge released in 2016 is available for PC. Halo 5: Guardians is already available, but only for the Xbox consoles. This title will not receive a separate update for the Series X, like the special optimizations that will be available for The Master Chief Collection. For example, this is a 120fps option and there are improvements for the split screen function. Playing Halo 5 on the Series X or S does have some general benefits, such as faster loading times and gameplay in higher resolutions.
