'Halo 5' not coming to PC despite what rumors suggest
Halo 5 came out on Xbox One half a decade ago, and despite a recent rumor stating otherwise, it won’t be getting a PC port anytime soon.
Buzz of Halo 5 on PC began circulating after a list of games on Nvidia’s GeForce Now service leaked, The Verge reported on Monday. There were some wild mentions on the list, such as Kingdom Hearts IV and BioShock 2022 — that first one has yet to have any sort of formal announcement, for example. Among them was Halo 5 on PC. However, it would be best if you didn’t get your hopes up about anything mentioned on the list.
“NVIDIA is aware of an unauthorized published game list, with both released and/or speculative titles,” Nvidia said via Wccftech. “[The list was] used only for internal tracking and testing. Inclusion on the list is neither confirmation nor an announcement of any game.”
To squash the rumor further, Halo 5’s developer 343 industries commented on a potential PC port. Their answer? Well, again, don’t get your hopes up.
“Maybe this was for ‘Halo 5: Forge‘ but I can confirm there are no plans to bring [Halo 5] to PC,” Brian Jarrard, community director at 343 Industries, said on Twitter. “We know there’s some demand for it, but as we’ve stated before, not in the cards as the studio is fully focused on Infinite and MCC. Will never say never, but nothing underway currently.”

Halo 5 is the only game in the series that’s not on PC, so, understandably, some fans are might want it on the platform. At least Halo Infinite is coming to PC, and it’s only a few months away!
