We had already had indication that Halo 5 would be getting updated for Microsoft’s upcoming Xbox One X console- the news about The Master Chief Collection came as a pleasant surprise.
Halo 5: Guardian is due to get an Xbox One X update on November 7, which is the same day that the console itself launches; meanwhile, Halo: The Master Chief Collection‘s Xbox One X update is actually due some time next year.
O’Connor also spoke of the upcoming Xbox One X update for Halo 5, trying to ground expectations a bit.
Speaking on NeoGAF, Frank O’Connor of 343 Industries confirmed that unlike a lot of development on The Master Chief Collection in the past, the new upcoming update will be handled singularly by 343 Industries internally.
