Surprise! Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary is out now on PC

The Anniversary edition of Halo: Combat Evolved is now available on PC through Halo: The Master Chief Collection. 

Like other remastered Halo games, the Anniversary edition lets you switch between traditional and remastered graphics. It also includes the original multiplayer mode, complete with all 19 maps and an updated progression system. It's time to go back to Blood Gulch, people. 

The Master Chief Collection will continue to roll out throughout the year. Halo 2, Halo 3 (and seemingly Halo 3: ODST), and Halo 4 are all scheduled to launch by the end of 2020, so we should expect to see approximately one game per quarter. As a reminder, if you buy the collection itself for $40, you'll get access to every game and multiplayer mode as they're released. You can also buy individual games for $10 apiece, assuming the pricing remains the same for the rest of the collection.  

In other Halo news, Microsoft recently confirmed that Halo Infinite will be available on Xbox Game Pass at launch. And if you decide to buy it on Xbox One, you'll get it on Xbox Series X for free.  If you're still looking for all the Halo: CE collectibles, take a look at our Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary Skull and Terminal Guide.
