Halo 3 is finally coming to PC as part of Halo: The Master Chief Collection on July 14, and if you need to revisit the classic as soon as humanly possible, 343 Studios has revealed the precise unlock times. The Halo 3 PC release time is set for the morning of July 14, so sadly you won't be able to do any late-hour gaming the night before.
The Halo 3 release time is set for July 14 at 10:00 PDT / 13:00 EDT / 18:00 BST, as confirmed by 343's Tyler Davis on Twitter. That'll cover whichever version of the game you're looking to pick up - Steam, Microsoft Store, or Xbox Game Pass for PC. You'll be able to pick up Halo 3 at a standalone price of $9.99 / £6.99 / €9.99, or as part of the full Master Chief Collection for $39.99 / £29.99 / €39.99.
I've been playing the Halo 3 PC port ahead of release, and while we won't have a full review until we've had a chance to play a bit of multiplayer on live servers, we've got no embargoes and I can confidently say that on the campaign side it's darn good.
