Lenovo May Have Unintentionally Revealed Halo 5 for PC
As can be seen on the official Lenovo Legion Go S website, the Halo 5 PC port is in the Steam library, suggesting that an official announcement about the port could be made soon.
Since every game of the franchise has already been available on PC and Xbox, fans have been waiting for a long time to try Halo 5 on PC. While recent leaks have suggested that the port was in development at one point but got scrapped, it appears that Xbox has finally heard the fans.
This is a great time for fans of the franchise, as Halo is finally being released to other platforms. However, it’s unsure whether the next entries in the franchise will be timely exclusives to Xbox like other first-party titles from them.
Regarding the announcement, Xbox will be hosting the developers directly later this month, so an official statement could be made during the show. Still, it’s best to take this news with a grain of salt, as nothing has been officially confirmed by the company yet.
Nonetheless, the Halo franchise appears to have a bright future. With rumors of Halo 5 finally arriving on PC and the franchise coming to PlayStation, the franchise will see a great resurgence in players just before the release of the next entry.
