Halo 2, the next instalment ofThe Master Chief Collection, might just hit the PC onSteamandXbox Game Passcome tomorrow morning.

This is according to a heavy hint dropped on Twitter by the officialXbox Game PassFor PC account.

Set your alarm for tomorrow morning oclockMay 5, 2020

As you can see, the tweet was in reply to famous streamer Ninja getting nostalgic about his old Halo days (in a not-at-all-staged exchange on the social media platform).

So hopefully, on May 6, we will see the release of Halo 2 and Halo 2: Anniversary, and you can relive the shooter that some consider to be the pinnacle of Halo games (although there are gamers, of course, who would argue otherwise). Except this time round you’ll get the remastered version’s better graphics and sound, plus extended cut-scenes, other bits of bonus content, and of course various PC optimizations.

There’s a chance that the tweet could be referring to something else that’s ‘nostalgic to play’ and Halo-related, so we can’t take this as concrete by any means – but it seems likely to refer to Halo 2 (which hit public beta in mid-April).

Gathering Steam

As mentioned, this release is part of The Master Chief Collection, which kicked off with Halo: Reach in December 2019, a title that swiftly becameone of the most-played games on Steam(despite suffering from a few glitches, includingstuttering frame-rates for some).

Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary Editionsubsequently surprised usby turning up out of the blue in March, and we wereseriously impressed with how good it lookedwhen we ran it at an unfailing 60 frames per second in8Kresolution on a powerful PC.
