It appears that Halo: The Master Chief Collection is selling like hot cakes. According to the Steam Charts, this collection has sold more than two million copies in just two days.
Of course this number includes all the pre-orders for this collection so this should not really surprise us. Still, it clearly shows the high PC demand for this particular franchise. And, to be honest, we are pretty sure that Microsoft is delighted with these figures.
According to the charts, the game also had an all-time player peak of 161,024. Furthermore, the collection has Very Positive Reviews on Steam.
Halo: Reach is the first part of the Halo: The Master Chief Collection that is currently available on Steam. While the game looks dated, it runs extremely well on the PC platform. We’ve already published our PC Performance Analysis article so be sure to read it.
Stay tuned for more!
UPDATE:
Steam Charts has updated its stats, claiming now that the game has sold between 1 million and 2 million copies.

congrats MS this is how you win us over keep up the good work and dont follow that half dead company sony https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/98714affaa43c30ca7a33724d3b166e8b342ce5afb5bf52e66b7d71f7218c8dd.jpg
get a like for the meme and a dislike for your complement toward microshet.
Microsoft read you, all their exclusives will be ported to PC in about 10 years of the original release date.
How is steamspy able to get any information since almost everyone’s steam profile is set to private?. can’t get behind this numbers until we get better source or the former get’s explained.
I have gamepass and still decided I’d rather just buy it on steam. For only $10 this game is incredible value for the price. Im half-way done the campaign on Legendary. Having a great time. Honestly if you play just an hour alone I feel like you already got your money’s worth.
only odst cost 5$, all the other 10$
You can buy all 6 games for $39.99 making each game roughly $6. Even better deal
Who knew there were such things as legit customers on PC? Seriously, who knew?? Oh right, anyone with an adequate IQ.
Microsoft is so pleased with this they will port all their franchises to PC in the next 10 years or so…
Maybe releasing a functional Xbox and X360 emulator for the exclusives, and also porting the remaining Gears 2, 3 and judgement.
FABLE 2 I NEED IT SO DAMN BADLY
I mean, not too long ago, Rockstar.. were even shocked how good PC sales were. Because awhile ago they said some nasty stuff about the platform. Many people (and companies) dont know or pretend to dont know (or are just stupid).
The PC platform is great, the sales are great and you could do anything you want with it. Work, play, and study. Honestly, why would anyone even bother with any other platform..
If you like consoles? Buy a controller and just hook it up to the PC 😛
but its not on epic store….oh wait, it doesnt have to be crazy i know.
I’m sorry but that’s just missinformation
Like it says on SteamDB, this data comes from SteamSpy (yeah, that russian that works for Epic Fail, “Steam Spy” fits right on) and it’s just a estimation of the amount of owners of the game, since there’s no way for any person besides the developer/publisher to see the real number of copies sold.
If you want another site that uses Steam’s API to estimate a number, again, not real numbers, since Steam API only check public profiles for owners of that game and since by default Steam profiles are private, those numbers will ALWAYS be VERY wrong, this one estimate 695k owners:

It’s been on the #1 sales and trending list for like 3 weeks…I’m sure it’s closer to 2 million if not more at this point based on that fact. There hasn’t been a single day since it went up for pre-order that it hasn’t been in the top 10 sales list.
This also doesn’t count Windows store sales, of course that would be less but I know 2 people who bought that version myself. Then you should also consider the people it got to subscribe to gamepass which is what Microsoft really wants.
Doubt those numbers are accurate.
I do believe it is selling way more than RDR2 though 😀
Should be pretty accurate, you can obtain steam sale numbers. They don’t hid them like EGS or any other storefronts.
Still holding out for HDR support. Not all PC gamers still game at SDR 1080p.
I game at 1440 x 1080 or 1280 x 960 with borders. i was thinking about getting a good crt monitor.
Have you even used HDR?
It only took your 2 fathers entire pension checks to afford that PC you brown skinned worm.

LMAOOOO
I hope Gabe is tossing him into a pit of acid and fire. Tim Sweeney lost his marbles about 5 years ago and seems to get progressively more insane every week.
Loser peasant Bizzysgs hiding under the desk, or just disappearing for a whole month to keep up with the therapy
i was going to buy but graphics pretty ugly not even worth pirating.
It’s a 10 year old game, don’t expect miracles.
looks like a tin man holding a big scissor shaped dyldo, i’m still confused as hell as to why some people like this absolute trash of a game and franchise.
it’s generic, boring, unappealing, childish and unattractive as hell.
Your opinion is very important to us, thank you!
of course it is. you’re jealous because you’re not as popular as me on dsog.
Loved this back in the days, but am not wasting my time playing it again.
Sure it’s a great and funny game, so those who didn’t have the chance to play before will be delighted now. It worth the buy.
Don’t play the windows store ver it runs like crap
But wait… This game was cracked in 1 day by codex. According to The Great Fernando all PC gamers are dirty dirty no good filthy stinking pirates… Have I been lied to? There is no way. I don’t believe this pro PC gaming propaganda. I call shenanigans! All hail console gaming, and hope someday devs abandon PC all together those disgusting so called gamers never buy games anyway.
The Steam Charts is saying “1,000,000 .. 2,000,000” so I think it is BETWEEN these numbers. Playertracker say 715K so… I think around 1M should be good numbers and, well, it is old games, those numbers are VG !
B b b but PC gamers are just filthy pirates! There’s no profit to be had!
Yeah, where’s that bunch of morons right now?
Nice fart.
At least one had enough courage to appear.
2 million sold on steam and less than 100k daily players…seems legit.
100k at the same time, not daily.
yeah it peeks at 100k everyday is all i am saying.
But you made fun of the numbers, implying that 100k players makes no sense with 2 million units sold.
I’m honestly so glad this started off on the right foot (audio issues aside). Hopefully it shows Microsoft that there is a genuine player-base on PC who would love to play their games
