Summary
- Lenovo has debunked rumors of a Halo 5 PC port, confirming that a recent promotional image for the Lenovo Legion Go S was merely a mockup design.
- Halo 5: Guardians is the only mainline title not available on PC, despite the release of the Forge editor in 2016.
- While Microsoft's increased focus on PC gaming might eventually lead to a Halo 5 PC release, there is no solid evidence yet.
Lenovo has put to rest the recent speculation about a PC port for Halo 5: Guardians. A promotional image for the Lenovo Legion Go S had suggested that Halo 5: Guardians was coming to Steam, but Lenovo's senior community manager, Ben Green, clarified that it was just a mockup design. In a direct response to whether this was a leak ahead of the Xbox Developer Direct event, Green simply stated, "No lol." Although the image remains on Lenovo's site, any genuine leak would have likely been removed promptly. Green also mentioned that he had forwarded the image to Lenovo's design team for review.
Despite the release of Halo: The Master Chief Collection on PC, Halo 5: Guardians remains the only mainline game in the series not available on the platform. This is particularly notable given that a PC version of the Forge editor for Halo 5: Guardians was released back in 2016, yet the full game never made its way to PC. The absence of Halo 5 on PC creates a significant gap for fans who want to experience the complete story without owning an Xbox One. Over the years, there have been numerous rumors about a potential PC port, but none have materialized.
Halo 5 PC Rumors Debunked by Lenovo
While the recent Lenovo incident doesn't confirm a PC port for Halo 5: Guardians, it doesn't completely rule it out either. Microsoft's growing emphasis on PC gaming in recent years might eventually lead to the company bringing all Halo titles to one platform. However, at this point, there's no concrete evidence to suggest that Halo 5: Guardians will come to PC anytime soon.
The Halo franchise is currently navigating an intriguing phase. Halo Studios, formerly known as 343 Industries, continues to enhance Halo Infinite with new content. Yet, there's a palpable desire among the community for fresh experiences. Looking ahead to 2025, rumors are circulating about a potential remake of Halo: Combat Evolved and the possibility of The Master Chief Collection being released on PlayStation. If these rumors hold true, it could signify a significant shift in direction for the franchise.
