The Master Chief Collection could hit the Epic Games Store

For some time now, no one has been taken by surprise that Microsoft has brought all its developments to the PC. The story began with some games that were released exclusively on Xbox One and in the Microsoft Store of Windows 10. Later those of Redmond opened their hand to Steam, and from that moment their games come out simultaneously in three different stores; being that of Valve one of those that better economic performance leaves in the coffers of the Americans.

In this equation, there is an actor who has become very relevant this last year, the Epic Games Store. And it is that the store of the parents of Unreal Engine and Fortnite has become a key element in the monetization of PC games.

Halo: The Master Chief Collection en Epic Games Store

All this salad of information that we have recapitulated is not trivial; It turns out that in the last update that 343 Industries shared about the news coming to Halo: The Master Chief Collection, we learned that they are considering taking the game to “A new place to play.” There are a thousand theories about this short sentence, but of all of them the most plausible is that the game reaches the Epic Games store.

And it is for several reasons. The first is that at the business level it is profitable since it does not involve additional development and is a way to obtain short-term benefits. If we look at the feedback areas of Halo Waypoint, that the game reaches the Epic Games Store is one of the most demanded options, white and in a bottle. Be that as it may, it won’t take long to learn about the future of the game as the next update to the Master Chief’s Collection should arrive at the end of this month.

Of course there will always be those who think that the game will reach Playstation 5 or Nintendo Switch. Something that is more a dream than something plausible. Surely this cabal arrives fueled by the various clickbait headlines we’ve been reading about in the last 24 hours. However, the current situation of the study, with a pandemic ahead, telework problems and a large amount of resources betting on Halo Infinite, it seems unlikely that Microsoft wants to create an additional team for development on other platforms.
