Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary is Out Now on PC

Out of nowhere – barring some teases  – 343 Industries has released Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary for PC. It’s available standalone and with Halo: The Master Chief Collection, so if you picked up the latter when Halo: Reach first launched, then it should be ready to download. Check out the trailer below.

The first Halo needs no introduction – it was the defining console FPS for a generation of players, after all. The PC version comes with support for 4K Ultra HD resolution, 60 frames per second, and Ultra-wide support. Keyboard and mouse bindings can be customized, while graphical settings like field of view can also be changed.

Since this is the Anniversary version, players can choose to experience the original Xbox graphics or the new remastered visuals. Multiplayer consists of 19 different maps with an “updated progression system”. We’ll have to wait and see how it all holds up, especially if playlists with maps from both Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary and Halo Reach are available. Stay tuned for more details.
