Microsoft has just launched a beta for the new Xbox Windows 10 application and from the looks of it, this app suggests that Halo 5: Guardians may be coming to the PC. Now before jumping little bunnies, know that this has not been confirmed yet by Microsoft so we strongly suggest taking it with a grain of salt.
As the description reads for the new Xbox app for Windows 10 PCs, PC gamers will be able to browse the catalogue, view recommendations, and discover their next favourite game from a library of high-quality PC games with Xbox Game Pass.
This basically means that all the games that can be found in this new Xbox app are for the PC. However, in the background image Microsoft has included a game that is neither on the PC via Xbox Play Anywhere or via Xbox Game Pass, and that is Halo 5: Guardians.
You can easily spot Halo 5 at the top of the image.
Now I don’t know whether this was a mistake from Microsoft’s part, or whether the team is gearing up for a PC announcement during either its E3 2019 press conference or during PC Gaming Show.
It’s worth noting that Halo 5: Forge, which is indeed available on the PC, has a completely different boxart.
We do know that Halo: The Master Chief Collection and Halo: Infinite are coming to the PC, so it would make perfect sense to also port Halo 5 to the PC. Still, and given the fact that 343 Industries is currently busy with Halo: MCC and Halo: Infinite, I’m pretty sure that if Halo 5 ever finds its way on the PC, it will be after the release of Halo: MCC.
Stay tuned for more!

I’m boarding the hype train immediately.
Same. This is awesome news, can’t wait to play Halo 5 on my PC! Already have it on my X but I want to play it in multi screen + 120 FOV, that would be epic.
I am really hyped to see Halo Infinite, Fable 4, Ori 2 and Gears 5 tomorrow. Actually now that I mention it I am hyped for their whole show at 1pm. Tomorrow is going to be a good day, fingers freaking crossed 馃檪
Kinda expected. They have all Halo games on PC + Infinite and not Halo 5? Plus, they already have the engine up and running on PC, DX12, via Forge. It wasn’t a question of if, but of when.
I never understood that someone will spend a lot of time in day just to annoy others while making fool out of themselves at the same time. Why?
You seriously can’t say that you have nothing better to do?
Could we just ban Kim forever.
Well said. ?
Can鈥檛 wait. I hope they all come to pc so we can enjoy this serie. I for one will be playing them. Here鈥檚 me hoping the story is good.
I honestly don’t see the point with the MCC coming to PC. I doubt Microsoft have the ressources to port such a complex game to PC.
Most likely an oversight.
Are you literally brain damaged?
“Microsoft” “doesn’t have the resources.”
You do know what company Microsoft is, right? One of the only companies right now worth a trillion dollars that can close at a trillion dollars. They most definitely have the resources to port Halo 5 anywhere they want.
“such a complex game”
Hahahaha
Hahahahaha
Good, yes. Good.
the weakest halo of them all so i could not care less for this one
Developers want their games on the PC platform fool. Stop living in the past, makes you look like an a*s. Speaking of beggars here are some console beggars for you.

Why would a PC gamer create a petition not to have GTA V?
For those wondering it does not appear in the PC Game Pass List….
It’s not coming to PC.
Actually, the remaster of Reach was announced for both PC and Xbox.
I stand by what I said. There is nothing even remotely indicating they intend on bringing Halo 5 to PC.
I made no pretense to be an authority on anything my dear. I was merely pointing out that currently there is no sign of Halo 5 coming to PC, at all.
Unless I’ve missed something during Microsoft’s E3 conference, in which case please accept my apology.
1 year ago nothing even remotely indicated they’d bring Halo MCC to PC, especially Steam.
This will obviously happen. It makes sense to have all games on PC too. Having everything but halo 5 makes no sense.
Considering how it’s been received I’d say Microsoft can do without.
I’m not certain PC Game Pass really needs such a game anyway. As it currently stands the offer is enticing enough.
