Halo 5, FM5 coming to Steam

At first glance, the “SteamU” looks like an update to the UI. However, looking closer you might see some unique titles.

Lol TLHBR, no more exclusives for you!!!

xbone irrelevancy completed.

I would be very happy if that were the case.

that would be fantastic.

Wow PC is taking over everything. Time to build that rig, boys and girls.

At this rate, I wouldn't be surprised if Sony published more games on Steam. They already have published a handful of steam games.

Mortal Combat X?

Some1 thought the bone was allowed to keep exclusives? You thought wrong.

I'll wait for something more official...

Lol best response yet. Really.

Pc master race is taking over the world. We console peasants are doomed.

It would be smart if true. They are only costing themselves sales by limiting it to the Windows 10 store that most pc gamers want nothing to do with. Sell it on Steam, get a cut of the profit, require a login to xbox live to play online so cross-platform play can still work flawlessly, and your game sales will increase on pc. I wonder if it could still be cross buy, or if that would be exclusive to the windows store?

There was also that similar leak of Halo 3 forever ago.

Not that I wouldn't love to play Halo on PC, but I'll keep my expectations in check.

BS! That is all.

Maybe it means that Microsoft worked out a deal with Valve to unify their digital XB1/Steam stores to further unify XB1 & Windows PCs to a single platform of shared content. Doubt it, but that would be cool.

And with that this thread is dead.

lo how come?

In 2011 three OFFICIAL game groups were added to Steam, can you guess what they were? Halo: Combat Evolved, Halo 2, Halo 3... Do you know what came of that? Absolutely nothing, they were removed from the platform shortly after being added.

Because we all know if a game is not exclusive it is obviously not as good as if it were.

Anyway is this janky screenshot a new steam or something? Why do they have every game listed twice?

I remember when Bloodborne showed up on steam.

If this is true, then Microsoft's exclusives will sell even more than the already great numbers they get.

Win win for gamers.

That wasn't Steam, I think it was a screenshot on a driver update or something.

M$ should of given up with Microsoft Store a long time ago and put their games on steam. They would of made way more money.

oh man am i not going to be able to play these on my xbox now?

how terrible

Can you not add games not from steam onto your games list? I'm honestly more interested to see what happens with Halo 6 knowing its going to end up a play anywhere title. Game will be built with PC in mind from the start.

People on this forum are quick to jump on rumors. I even catch myself doing it sometimes -- and then here you are like, "wait for an announcement."

@dynamitecop: yeah it was Steam

$ony will probably close the studio anyway.

Wait a sec I thought the Halo games were considered kiddie fps games and all that Halo can't compare to real fps or some such ever since Halo 2 came out? now all of a sudden there's all this 'hope' that it will release on PC?

Was thinking the same thing. I remember the same thing years back with Halo 3.

This still wont effect me as I'm still going to play where my friends are since I cant play vs MP from PC to console.

oh lol

Oh shit, so yeah...

That's just cows hoping for further exclusivity loss, not further interest.

Awesomesauce now let MS work on getting a Steam App for Scorpio and the fanboys will cry.

I'll believe it when we get an announcement, but that would be cool. Even better... Give us the MCC with Halo 5/6 included. Mama.

Then we can own lems for having 0 exclusives and PC gamers that are used to real FPS can own lem players and make fun of them. What's not to celebrate?

xbox one vs PC. it was more problematic. Scorpio is substantially more powerful console. There is literally only a couple of reasons to join the PC master race now. You want to be big into strategy games and indies to not consider buying the Scorpio.

No reason to own a 720pStation Pro either.

There are more examples like that. Metal Gear Solid 5? It's "METAL GEAR SOLID V".

This is so fake, it's embarrassing.

Maybe MS know that windows store doesn't sell games and after they had to issue refunds for COD because no one was buying it out of their shitty store,they say hey lets just put the damn game on steam and be done with it..

That actually make more sense,hell quantum break on steam ran on DX11 and worked on windows 7 the windows store version doesn't. DX11 was faster than the windows store version as well..lol

Hahahhaaha you can taste the tears on this post..hahahahahaha

@tormentos: are you mad that the 720pStation Pro struggles to do HD for a 4K machine?

Did you need a kleenex?

Would be nice. Gives me zero reasons to own a xbone.

this is awesome news for us Steam users who finds Windows 10 store to run like sh......

It's still going to require UWP

I hope they do end up on Steam... more software sales is better for the Xbox brand. I doubt it but.

@daniel_su123: Yeah I doubt it happens at all at this point. The Windows 10 Xbox app is still in its infancy. MS isn't giving up on it by releasing games on Steam yet. I know Quantum Break showed up there, but it wasn't MS first party. I think if the W10 Xbox app fails, you'll see them on Steam but with no Cross-buy.

You can, but it basically just enables the overlay and tells your friends that you are in said game. It doesn't actually add it to Steam and use any integration, whatsoever.

It's cute how the xbox fanboys don't know how console profits work, I suppose they didn't have the intelligence to avoid xbox in the first place though, so it's to be expected.

@putaspongeon: Why don't you enlighten us?

(This will be good, I'm sure).

Nice, but Halo after Reach is dead to me.

Too good to be true. Probably being a placeholder of some short. I'm pretty sure that Halo 6 will have a PC port down the road though.

Really, why? The Internet hasn't been known to create incredibly realistic photoshoped images in the past. Why don't you simply accept this blindly?

I think this was a mistake on Steam's part.

"According to SteamDB, Valve has released a new beta build to remove the files—which only confirms the obvious, that their inclusion was a mistake." Just read the article.

Would be cool if it goes in 2 directions. Shared library for PC/Xbox, which would fit perfectly in the UWP, and Scorpio plans. Microsoft, and gamers win.
