Halo 4 and Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary were both officially announced on June 6, 2011, at the E3 2011. Halo 4 is the first installment in the Reclaimer Saga of Halo games. The studio's creative team, which included nearly 200 people led by creative director Josh Holmes, started developing the game as early as 2009. Halo 4 is the fourth installment in the Halo series where Master Chief returns to battle an ancient evil bent on vengeance and annihilation.

Shipwrecked on a mysterious world, faced with new enemies and deadly technology, the universe will never be the same. PC Settings/Optimizations: Halo 4 looks better than ever on PC, including up to 4K UHD at 60+ FPS. Other PC native settings include customizable mouse and keyboard support, ultrawide support, FOV customization and more.

The final game of the MCC has arrived on PC.

What you need to know

Halo 4 has officially launched on PC ahead of its scheduled November 17 release date.
It costs $10 and is available on both Steam and the Windows 10 Store.
The update also brings crossplay and input-based matchmaking to the Master Chief Collection (MCC), which are both highly-anticipated features.

Halo developer 343 Industries has released Halo 4 on PC early, giving night owl gamers a chance to get into the action ahead of Halo 4's scheduled November 17 release date. The game costs $10 to get by itself, but you also get access to it by purchasing the full Master Chief Collection (MCC), which is priced at $40. On PC, the MCC and all of its games are available on Steam and the Windows 10 Store.

On top of Halo 4, both crossplay and input-based matchmaking have been added to the MCC as well. Both of these features have been highly-anticipated by the community; crossplay allows Xbox and PC players to play with each other, while input-based matchmaking allows players using either controller or mouse and keyboard to choose to be matched with other players using those same inputs.

Halo 4 was the last game that 343 Industries had left to bring to PC, and now that it's here, it's cool to think about how much of a comeback story the MCC as a whole has made over the years ever since its disasterous Xbox One launch in 2014. Will you be playing Halo 4 on PC? Let us know. If you're craving some Halo action while you wait for Halo Infinite to release, Halo 4 and the other MCC games are a superb way to get your fill of the space opera shooter.
