Halo: Reach – The legendary shooter who has just landed on PC has reached the Top of the chart

​

Halo finally resonated with PC platform through the release The Master Chief Collection above Steam and Microsoft Store on December 4th. The collection is currently the number one bestseller on Steam, while Halo: Reach hold third place.

VentureBeat reports that The Master Chief Collection topping Steam’s rankings is quite surprising because the Halo brand includes names from Reach, Combat Evolve, Halo 3, ODST to Halo 4 all very familiar to the gaming community. : The first game in the series appeared in 2001, and the most recent was Halo 4, released in 2012. However, most of the games mentioned above have never appeared on PC before. In addition, game discs opened with Windows Live cannot function properly. So how to satisfy the “interest” of playing FPS that has been 18 years old?

The start of Halo: The Master Chief Collection is proof of the strategy Microsoft announced earlier this year, which is to release more titles on Steam, instead of keeping it exclusively for the Microsoft Store. Exclusive products can boost online stores (like the success of the Epic Games Store), but the rollout of Microsoft’s Windows app popularity campaign makes everything from mod, overlay mode and external tools get complicated. In fact, although official mod support in Halo: Reach has not been implemented yet, but 343 Industries recently revealed a workaround that allows players to use mods immediately.

Halo: The Master Chief Collection’s player count has also skyrocketed: it holds 7th place on the Steam Top 100 with over 60,000 players in just 45 minutes of release, and after six hours, the player count has reached 148,000. Although the original version of the game has been out for a long time, the good start above shows that Halo is still very attractive to PC gamers.

Halo: The Master Chief Collection is $40/£30/€40 on Steam, or players can purchase Halo: Reach (the only title in the collection released) for $10/£7/€ 10. Alternatively, you can purchase Halo: Reach on the Microsoft Store or unlock the game with Xbox Game Pass for PC.​
