Halo: MCC Xbox One X Enhancements

Halo: MCC Xbox One X Enhancements

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 available for Microsoft’s premiere franchise. Coming this summer, just that will be added to the MCC, further making that Halo 3 backwards compatible update seem odd.

343 isn’t stopping at just upping the resolution, though. Among the many changes coming to this compilation include improvements to the dire matchmaking service, LAN support and even HDR color. The biggest has to be the “Intelligent Install” system, which should theoretically let you install only the bits of content you want to use. Now you can just skip out on the campaign modes and get to the real Halo action.

Here is what is coming in the first retail update, but the blog post over on Halo Waypoint has a much more thorough explanation of what 343 is planning:

  • Intelligent Install
  • Xbox One X Visual Enhancements
  • HDR/SDR Calibration Settings
  • Networking and Matchmaking Improvements (Continuous Matchmaking, Network/Multiplayer API updates)
  • P1 & P2 Bug Fixes
  • LAN Support
  • UI & UX Updates (Main Menu, Title Screen Video, Button States/Highlight States)

If you’re interested in helping 343 Industries fix the Xbox One Anthology, you can still sign up for the MCC Insider Program. For the first public flight, the team said that it will select a small pool of Insiders who’ve played at least 20 MCC multiplayer sessions in the last six months, so check your inbox in the coming weeks to see if you’ve been selected.

Halo: MCC is a huge package that comes with Halo: C2, Halo 2 Anniversary, Halo 3, and Halo 4. As part of its effort to make up for the game’s launch struggles, Microsoft added Halo 3: ODST’s campaign to the package for free.

Microsoft hasn’t announced a sales figure for Halo: MCC, but total Halo franchise sales jumped from 60 million to 65 million after the game’s release, so it’s likely moved millions of copies. The fact that the game still has an active player base and it’s not hard to find matches also suggests the game sold well.

Halo 6, or whatever Microsoft decides to call it, is in development but has not yet been officially announced. What has been announced is a new Halo game for arcades called Fireteam Raven.
