Microsoft Explains Why Halo: Master Chief Collection Isn't Coming to PC

 

 

 

This November's Xbox One bundle, Halo: The Master Chief Collection, is currently only due for release on the next-gen console. But could it come to PC some day? It hasn't been ruled out, but Microsoft says the Xbox One version is the company's main focus right now
"We've definitely heard the questions about PC," 343 Industries executive producer Dan Ayoub told Kotaku. "Right now we're a couple months out from the Xbox version's release, and that's our main focus right now. That's quite honestly where all our headspace is right now."
"From a technical standpoint, you look at the architecture of the Xbox One and there are some similarities to the architecture of a modern PC," he said. "That certainly makes that sort of cross-platform development easier. But beyond that the ease goes away. Master Chief Collectionis massive. We have to coordinate four games, 100-plus maps, a lot of new cinematics, and Halo 2 Anniversary."
"We wanted to do a great job on console," Ayoub said. "The anchor of Halo: Master Chief Collection is the ten-year anniversary of Halo 2 on console. So our approach was to focus primarily on console as a result of that."
Finally, Ayoub made it clear that the appeal of the PC platform--its huge install base and modding support--is not lost on 343 Industries.
"That's one of the things I love about the PC community. You've got so many cool things going on [with fans]," he said. "And then you've got the breadth; PCs are everywhere all over the planet. Obviously as part of Microsoft PCs are part of our business. When you look at that market and community, there's almost limitless possibilities in terms of what we can do."
