Halo 2 Remaster Will Be Available May 12 For PC

Microsoft will release the Halo 2 remaster on May 12. It is a polished version of the second game in the Halo series, which came out on Xbox in 2004. The remaster is part of the Master Chief collection and can only be played on PC.

The new title is officially called Halo 2: Anniversary. Compared to the original, not only the graphics, but also the music and sound effects have been improved. As with the remaster of Halo: Combat Evolved released in March, the new title also offers the possibility to switch between the classic graphics and the improved version.

The Halo 2 remaster is part of Halo: The Master Chief Collection. That collection includes all Halo games up to and including the fourth volume. The games are released in chronological order. The enhanced version of Halo: Reach was released for PC and Xbox One last December, and the remaster of Halo: Combat Evolved has been available for PC players since March. The other remasters of Halo 3, Halo 3: ODST and Halo 4 are yet to follow later this year.

Like the other titles in the Master Chief collection, Halo 2: Anniversary is only available for PC. The collection is available on Steam and the Microsoft Store. The remasters are also part of the Game Pass subscription for PC.
