One of the better initiatives to come about from Microsoft this generation was the "Xbox Play Anywhere" program. Through this, players that bought digital copies of compatible titles would be granted both the Xbox One and PC versions of gam...

If you don't feel like waiting when it comes to Halo: The Master Chief Collection's PC port, developer 343 Industries is reminding folks that the Halo Insider Program (read: a community-like springboard for all things Halo) will allow for s...

Regardless of how you feel about Halo in 2019 (for some, the magic is gone), it's very clear that the folks over at 343 Industries are still very much in it to win it. Following a recent bid to give the folks at 343 as much pizza as possibl...

As do a lot of stories this generation, it started with a meme. Over on reddit, a user stated interest in sending developer 343 Industries a pizza if they revealed Halo: The Master Chief Collection on PC. That was seven days ago and we...

There have been a lot of rumors going around lately that Microsoft is prepping two new Xbox consoles. Supposedly getting unveiled at E3, we've heard everything from a disc-less Xbox One to Xbox Scarlet and even some PC/Xbox hybrid. Along wi...

Here's a curious hypothetical. After Bungie's swan song, Halo: Reach, Microsoft was put in the position of needing a new developer to take up the Master Chief mantle. Eventually, Microsoft formed an internal studio, 343 Industries, which ha...

South by Southwest (or "SXSW" or just "South by" if you're particularly with-it) has put an increasing emphasis on video games over the past few years. The famous Austin-based festival has its roots in music, but it eventually expanded to f...

The past several years have been hard for Halo: The Master Chief Collection, to put it lightly. On the one hand, I don't fault fans who felt burned by the sorry state of the compilation. On the other hand, 343 Industries' commitment to set ...

Xbox Game Pass is set to receive a bunch of new titles for September and the clear standout is Quantum Break. While maybe not the best game it could be, Quantum Break's infusion of different media formats makes for a great time if you view ...

Just like that, nearly every Halo title is available through Xbox Game Pass. Today, Microsoft revealed what has been expected for many months: That Halo: The Master Chief Collection is coming to Xbox's monthly subscription service. Ma...

Just shortly after E3, Showtime announced it was starting production of a series based around the Halo franchise. While this recalled memories of Microsoft taking to its E3 stage in 2013 to announce the same thing, this series seems to actu...

A lot of jokes were made heading into this year's E3 that everything would just be Battle Royale, as developers capitalised on the current trend for "every person for themselves" gaming. Ironically, however, it wasn't quite the Battle Royal...

Ever since the launch of the Master Chief Collection in late 2014, 343 Industries has been busy with updates to its compendium of Halo titles. With the launch of the Xbox One X, you'd have figured 4K support would've been immediately availa...

If you're an Xbox Live Gold member and have somehow not played Halo 5, this coming weekend will be perfect for you. Running from today, January 11, until January 14, all currently subscribed Live Gold members will be able to download and en...

A slew of Halo games for Xbox 360 are now playable on Xbox One through backward compatibility, and if you don't own or don't care to mess with The Master Chief Collection, that's darn good news. The timing here works out rather well. I've ...

July 7 used to be Halo Day. Well, it was technically Bungie Day, but with Bungie at the helm of the entire Halo series, it effectively meant that it was also Halo Day. That's dashed now that Bungie has moved onto Destiny. But, this yea...

Fan games are always just a cease and desist away from being dashed into oblivion. We see it all the time. Companies have a legal interest in protecting their properties, and unilaterally shutting down fan games is often the only plausible ...

Halo 6 won't be making an appearance at E3 this year, leading fans to speculate that Microsoft and 343 Industries are cooking up a Halo 3 remaster to fill the gap. Wouldn't it be great to play the premiere Xbox Live game on modern hardware ...

Xbox's biggest character won't be at the year's biggest video game show. Master Chief will be standing on the sidelines, not helping anchor Microsoft's efforts at E3 2017. (Well, unless he ends up part of some offshoot project.) A 343 Indus...

Halo and split-screen is a combination similar to peanut butter and jelly. They just go together so well and have provided millions with a tasty and nutritional meal...I mean, a fun evening killing each other...Maybe PB&J has lead to a ...

[Update: Just a bump before we close the contest tomorrow. Get your entries in now if you want a shot at winning! Also, if you're curious how Halo Wars 2 turned out, go give our review a read.] Look, we simply have too many copies...

Halo Wars is a curious thing. The Halo ties give it some crossover appeal for people who just want more Halo canon. But, the real-time strategy genre may be the exact opposite of first-person shooters. These games are Halo i...

It has been more than a year since Halo 5 launched, but developer 343 Industries continues to support it with new maps, helpful features, and quality of life improvements. Actually, one of the biggest updates is right around the corner...

The first Halo Wars might not be everyone's favorite entry in the Halo franchise, but it was a nice enough introduction to strategy games for folks that don't normally play them. If 343 Industries feels strongly enough about its sequel to p...

Halo 5 takes place in 2558 but some players are turning the clock back some 600 years. Thanks to the wonders of Forge mode, you can get your fix of old-timey war right alongside all that futuristic war. Forge creator JoeAct20 made thi...
