Halo: Master Chief Collection is 50% off ahead of Halo Infinite’s release

The Steam Summer sale has begun, bringing huge deals on several PC games. One of this year’s headlining discounts is Halo: The Master Chief Collection, which is on sale for 50% off on Steam right now.

Halo: The Master Chief Collection is a bundle that includes six classic halo games, including Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary, Halo 2: Anniversary, Halo 3, Halo 3: ODST, Halo 4, and Halo: Reach. The collection has been optimized for PC with 4K graphics and 60 frames per second. It faithfully preserves the single-player campaigns and multiplayer modes of each game. Online play is available for all games in the bundle.

The 50% price cut takes the package down to $20 from its usual $40 price tag. For those who don’t want to buy the entire package, each individual game is discounted to $5. Those who are only itching to play some good old-fashioned Halo 2 can simply grab that title carte blanche instead.

It’s a bit of good timing, as Halo Infinite is right around the corner. While the game still doesn’t have an exact release date, Microsoft recently confirmed that it wll launch sometime this holiday season. That means we could see it as late as September, so The Master Chief Collection is a good way to kill the time until its release.

Developers recently revealed that they’re experimenting with upping the collection’s team sizes as well. Producer Sean Swidersky teased that team sizes may be increasing to as high as 60 players down the line, so it’s a good a time to get reacquainted with the multiplayer classics.

The Steam Summer Sale runs from now through July 8. Halo: The Master Chief Collection will remain 50% off until then, so there’s time to decide.

Prime Big Deal Days Samsung Deals 2024: TVs, phones, monitors
Best Prime Day Deals Samsung Deals

Update 10/8/24: Earlier today, when I covered updates to Big Deal Days tablet deals, I noted that both Apple and Samsung had really risen to the occasion by consistently lowering prices for the big day. As it so turns out, it wasn't just tablets. There was only one product in the original early writeup (the T9 SSD that was already 45% off) that didn't have a further price drop starting today. I was also able to throw in a couple of Prime member exclusives that give you access to a 165Hz gaming monitor for $200 and a robot vacuum cleaner (Yes! Samsung makes those) that's both 50% off and under $400. — John Alexander

Dragon Age: The Veilguard has any difficulty you could possibly want
Lucanis in Dragon Age: The Veilguard.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard will have a long list of accessibility settings you can play around with when it launches on October 31, like with many AAA releases these days. This includes five difficulty presets, ranging from the easiest for players who just want to go through a new BioWare story as quickly as possible, to a nightmare mode for the most skilled or masochistic players.

And while most difficulty settings can be changed as you play, that doesn't include nightmare, which cannot be turned off once you start. So you need to make absolutely sure you're ready before starting a playthrough.

Roblox is overinflating its user numbers, according to eye-popping report
The House of Style experience seen in Walmart Land, a new metaverse game in Roblox.

A damning new report concerning mega metaverse Roblox claims the company has been "lying to investors, regulators, and advertisers," specifically about the number of active users and the presence of child and sexual exploitation on the platform.

The analysis from Hindenburg Research is quite a read -- both in length and in terms of substance -- but the basics are that it believes Roblox Corp. has inflated its daily active user stats by about "25-42% or more" and engagement hours by around 100% since it doesn't take into consideration bots or alt accounts.
