At that place's bad news for all the Halo fans that prefer to play games on 1 of our all-time gaming PCs, because developer 343 Industries has alleged there are no plans to bring Halo 5 to PC.

This clarification came about cheers to a leaked list from the Nvidia GeForce At present database, which suggested Halo 5 would be making it to Windows PCs in the near futurity. But that's plain not the case, despite every other Halo game being available on the PC thanks to the excellent Halo: The Principal Principal Collection. In curt, it looks like the next Halo PC game will be the upcoming Halo Space.

According to Nvidia the GeForce Now leak is really legitimate, but here'southward where it gets weird. The company told Wccftech that the titles on that list were just "released and/or speculative titles" that are "used only for internal tracking and testing." More than to the point, being on that listing is "neither confirming nor an proclamation of any game."

Among the games listed on the GeForce Now document were pretty far out games like Half Life 2 remastered, Bioshock 2022, Titanfall iii, and remasters of the PS2-era Grand Theft Machine trilogy: GTA 3, Vice City, and San Andreas. Even a Steam version of Alan Wake Remastered, which would exist odd considering that particular game is existence published by Epic Games, which has it's ain online store and platform.

Equally for Halo five, 343i Community Managing director Brian Jarrad has confirmed that Halo five is not coming to PC. He speculates that the listing may have had something to exercise with Halo five: Forge, which launched on PC dorsum in 2016, simply not the total game.

Maybe this was for "H5:Forge" but I can ostend there are no plans to bring H5 to PC. Nosotros know there'due south some need for it, simply equally nosotros've stated before, not in the cards as the studio is fully focused on Infinite and MCC. Volition never say never, merely zilch underway currentlySeptember 13, 2021

Jarrad also added that the programmer is completely focussed on Halo Infinite and the Master Chief Collection right now, but "never say never."

It would make sense for 343i to bring Halo 5 to PC eventually, seeing every bit how all the other Halo games are readily available on either Steam or the Microsoft store. Only because that Halo v's entrada was not very well received it's certainly not going to be a peculiarly high priority.

Multiplayer might exist a different story, but with Halo Infinite coming to PC on Dec 8, and the fact the Master Main Collection is already bachelor, ways at that place likely isn't much demand for Halo five'south multiplayer to make the jump either.

In other words, if anyone wants to play Halo 5 anytime shortly they're going to have to go out and purchase an Xbox panel. Thankfully, being an Xbox Ane championship, which are pretty easy to come by, you won't need to get to the effort of tracking Xbox Series X restocks.
