Ever since the original Xbox was released, Microsoft never delivered on its repeated promises to make gaming a key focus of Windows. Well, it looks like Microsoft is finally putting its money where its mouth is.
In an interview with GamesRadar, Halo 5: Guardians’ franchise development director, Frank O’Connor, was asked if it is possible for the game to be released on PC in the future and he confirmed that this is likely to happen.
"You know, Microsoft has made a huge commitment trying sort of… I think normalize the Windows experience across multiple platforms. You see the elements of Windows 10 are going to appear in Xbox and Cortana and stuff like that. There is plenty of chance that Halo 5 could appear on the PC. Nothing to announce at this point… you know, we developed the game on an Intel platform. It wouldn’t be the hardest thing in the world to move it to PC and take advantage of PC stuff. But nothing I announce today on this chat."
Even with no promises, this is the first time a Halo developer acknowledges the possibility of having a main Halo title appear on PC since Halo 2 made its way to Windows nearly 3 years after it was released on Xbox.
