Microsoft has announced that over 10 million players have played Halo: The Master Chief Collection since its release on Steam and Windows Store. Not only that, but the vast majority of them are brand new to the franchise.
As Microsoft stated:
“We launched Halo: The Master Chief Collection at the end of 2019 on the PC as part of Xbox Game Pass for PC; since then, over 10 million players have played it, with the vast majority of them being brand new to the franchise.”
Additionally, 343 Industries released a new patch for Halo: MCC. This patch adds a test-ready version of the Custom Game Browser to the collection. This feature will be enabled for a limited time to stress test the CGB and prepare for a full launch. For this test, only Halo: Reach will be playable.
In other news, Microsoft announced that starting on August 1 the developer share of Microsoft Store PC games sales net revenue will increase to 88%, from 70%. This is most likely in response to Epic’s 12% fee on its own store.

While he is a die-hard PC gamer, his gaming roots can be found on consoles. John loved – and still does – the 16-bit consoles, and considers SNES to be one of the best consoles. Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.
