In a surprising move by developer 343 Industries, Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary is now available on PC (again). Originally ported to the PC in 2003, this latest version of the classic game is a remaster, allowing players to switch between the original graphics or the enhanced updated visuals.

This is the second game in Halo The Master Chief Collection to launch on PC following Halo: Reach back in December 2019. Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary for PC also features:

• New Spartan customization 3D model viewer.
• Ability to toggle between Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary and Halo: Combat Evolved Classic audio for multiplayer.
• Mouse + Keyboard input support.
• Customizable key bindings.
• Variable Frame Rate (VFR) support (experimental feature).
• Adjustable FOV (experimental feature).
• Ultrawide and alternate resolution support.
• Text chat.
• Updated crouch/movement mechanic for mouse + keyboard user.
• Push-to-talk voice chat.
• Push-to-talk key binding.
• Separated key-bindings on a per-title basis.
• Datacenter ping values are now visible.
• Message of the Day added.
• Updated zoom controls.

You can purchase Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary for only RM23.50 on Steam or grab the entire Halo TheMaster Chief Collection for RM65. It’s also available on the Microsoft Store, and the Xbox Game Pass.
