For months now, persistent rumours have claimed the Halo series shall be making its way to PS5 alongside many other Xbox games like Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2, Gears of War, and Microsoft Flight Simulator. The original suggestion was Microsoft plans to port Halo: The Master Chief Collection in full to PS5, but this claim has now been disputed a little.

Speaking on The Xbox Two podcast, The Verge journalist Tom Warren suggests what Microsoft is currently planning to do with Halo on other platforms is to release an incomplete collection. Warren explains he doesn't think "it'll have every game", and that's all he can share for now, suggesting he knows more.

Halo: The Master Chief Collection contains the following games:

Upon its original Xbox One launch, the collection only contained the first four mainline games, and Halo 3: ODST and Halo Reach were added in post-launch updates. The FPS bundle suffered from significant issues at release — mostly relating to the multiplayer modes — but has been fixed in the years since.


When the collection came to PC, the titles were drip-fed over 11 months, from December 2019 to November 2020. It is possible Microsoft is aiming for a similar rollout on PS5 and Nintendo Switch 2, slowly releasing the back catalogue of Halo titles instead of dropping them all on a single day.

Halo 5: Guardians and Halo Infinite have also released since The Master Chief Collection hit the market, but they aren't part of the bundle. A remake of Halo: Combat Evolved has also been rumoured, with wider speculation pointing towards a remake of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion arriving as soon as this month. Microsoft already has Forza Horizon 5 and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle slated for a PS5 launch in the coming weeks.
