Originally released on the Xbox One, Halo: The Master Chief Collection hit our home platform back in late 2019 on Steam, the Windows Store, and the Xbox Game Pass for PC. And, since that time, it's turns out it's been really quite popular - Xbox Game Studios has revealed that Halo MCC has seen more than ten million players on PC.
We spoke to World's Edge studio head Shannon Loftis about the studio's plans for PC gaming in 2021 and beyond, who confirmed the eye-watering figure. "We have been kind of methodically and systematically expanding our game development capability for PC, both with our existing and established franchises, and also by adding brilliant studios that focus on PC forward gaming" Loftis tells us.
Touching on Microsoft's acquisitions of big PC gaming studios like InXile, Obsidian, World's Edge, and Bethesda, Loftis tells us, "then expanding, for instance, we released Halo Master Chief Collection on Steam in 2019 [...] and we have over ten million people who have played the game since we've released it on Steam and Windows".
