‘Halo Invades PC’

Announced in 1999 as a PC and MacOS title, Halo: Combat Evolved first became an Xbox exclusive title in the summer of 2000 after struggling developer Bungie was bought by Microsoft.

Launched alongside the Xbox in November 2001, Halo for the Xbox was well received by the gaming press. In 2002 Microsoft contracted Gearbox Software to port Halo to the PC with the PC port of Halo eventually launching in the autumn of 2003 to less favourable reviews than the initial Xbox release.

Microsoft’s 2004 product page for Halo: Combat Evolved for the PC can be viewed in the Wayback Machine.
