Microsoft and 343 Industries announced Halo: The Master Chief Collection will receive Xbox One X enhancements, as well as several fixes.

"Fans of classic Halo games also have a lot to look forward to with today’s announcement that Halo: The Master Chief Collection will receive enhancements for Xbox One X, as well as fixes, improvements and upgrades to the core game to help bring it forward and modernize many of the game’s systems to take advantage of Xbox platform advancements since its original launch.," reads a blog post from the developer.

"While we’re incredibly excited by this opportunity to go back under the hood with MCC, it’s not going to be easy nor is it going to happen overnight. To help facilitate this process we’re planning to roll out a public “flighting” program for MCC to allow for iterative patches and updates while testing in the wild at large scale. Right now, we’re targeting kicking this off next spring and when the time comes we’ll need the support of our community to help test and provide feedback at large scale as we work to update and improve MCC. We’ll share additional details and timing as plans are locked."

Halo in 4k 60fps? I want a switch but this makes it that much harder to stay away from buying the X instead.

I was just complaining about this game the other day. I was annoyed they were bundling it again but don't fix it. Perhaps I wasn't the only one complaining.

I just wish it had all three games in their original form on the disc. When you put the disc in, or put the digital version, you pick from the 4 games and it just loads the entire original game as it was without any changes apart from resolution and frame rate (and allowing online play for Halo 1 of course). Had they done this, it would have been much better.
