Halo: Reach Headed to Halo: The Master Chief Collection on Xbox One and PC

During Inside Xbox, it was confirmed that Halo: Reach will be headed to Halo: The Master Chief Collection for Xbox One and PC.

This reveal comes alongside the news that Halo: The Master Chief Collection, which originally released in 2014 for Xbox One, will finally make it way to PC.

On Xbox One, Halo: Reach's multiplayer will be included for all owners for The Master Chief Collection, while the campaign and Firefight mode will be available for purchase. For Xbox Games Pass subscribers, all of Halo Reach will be available for free.

Halo: Reach on PC will arrive as one package and will be the first game released for PC on Halo: The Master Chief Collection. The rest of the titles will be released one-by-one in chronological order.

Halo: Reach was originally released on Xbox 360 in 2010 and was the final game that developed by Bungie before they moved on to create such titles as Destiny 1 and 2.

Instead of controlling Master Chief, Reach had players assume the role Nobel Six of "Noble Team" and is a tragic prequel of sorts to the Halo franchise.

In our review of Halo: Reach, we said "It's a fitting end to Bungie's involvement with the franchise, one that both references the past and injects new life into a tried and true formula."

Halo: Reach joins Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary, Halo 2: Anniversary, Halo 3, Halo 4, and Halo: ODST.

Now, Xbox and PC players will have a chance to play Halo: Reach and The Master Chief Collection, and prepare for the release of Halo: Infinite, which is said to be a "spiritual reboot" for the franchise.
