Halo: The Master Chief Collection Dev Team Outlines Updates For 2021

After a long, slow rollout, Halo: The Master Chief Collection is fully available on PC--but it's not done with major updates yet. Halo 1-4, plus 3 ODST and Halo Reach, will receive more features in 2021, developer 343 Industries has promised, with many big features currently in active development.

As part of the MCC December 2020 Update, 343 Industries' "farn" has outlined some of the improvements coming to the six Master Chief Collection titles coming next year, including various quality-of-life changes and new options.

Here's everything that the team is actively working on right now, with most of these updates planned for early 2021.
