Halo 1 surprise launches on PC today
Surprise! Microsoft has just given fans a pleasant surprise by releasing the first Halo game on PC without warning. Arriving just three months after the first Master Chief Collection title on PC, Halo Reach, it's now time for Halo: Combat Evolved to take the stage. You can buy the game on Steam for $9.99, or you can get access to it as part of Xbox Game Pass PC. This version of the game supports high-resolution graphics and high framerate support, and is based off of the Xbox 360's version of Halo: Combat Evolved - Anniversary. If you prefer the older 2001-style original graphics, you can choose that as an option, as well.
